About £120 new.

Not worth buying second hand though....
It's the battery inside that causes the fault and lasts about 12 years, which means most second hand ones will be on their last legs!

Dismantle it and fit a new cell battery, surely? Pence! Buying a new one at £120 is the very definition of madness!

Hi, sorry to resurrect this! So silly question but how do you open the unit to replace the battery? Thanks
