Yes I have Jim & on the face of it it looks OK, they can supply a replacement section for £25. However, they will only sell through one of there dealerships. the dealership has to pay postage from Wychwood to them, and then charge carriage from them to me. All of which adds upto pretty much the price of a new rod. Crazy ain't it.

Sad to leave 2 sections of a rod that I liked to use mouldering in the tube.

The hope is that one of you guys may come up with a solution.

Pretty crazy system.unusual for Wychwood ,who are a pretty clued up company.

It would seem that it is more about protecting their dealerships markets than it is about service to the customer.

Maybe there is a Wychwood supplier on here that could help.........
