A cynic would say they're good for the life of a manufacturer warranty perhaps.

Brilliant idea, I will have to copy this if my motor can be fixed.

Stocktake, where did you get the switch from? Is it something common that can be got from the likes of Maplin?

P.S. interesting to see the internals of the unit, the motor itself looks suspiciously like the one that powered my scalextric cars when I was a child!

Yes I think that could be correct, as the new buyer (who is the target customer) benefits from 3 years no repair costs, and as many new car buyers change the car in that period they are never faced with the wear and tear repairs of later years and the used buyer simply accepts them as a fact of life. A good business model for the manufacturer then.

Could not agree more, Dave is indeed a very talented and obliging chap.
I have borrowed the tester which I understand Dave made for the down under members.
Very impressed with the quality of the unit, hopefully will test the units this weekend.
Thanks Dave. Trip to NZ???
