Need a new 'ribbon' thing that flips over the detachable plate. Been quoted between £50-60 plus vat. Is this about right? Anywhere cheaper. Guy in the garage told me they get them direct from the manufacturers.

TIA

    i think in would agree that it would have to be an original kenwood part.
    £50-60 + VAT, you may want to consider buying a newer one if its not fairy new!

    your going to need an engineer to fix it aswell, unless you know how to, and that will cost you!

    The exact same thing happened to my Mask around Christmas. I got charged £55. This was through a garage who is a mate so no doubt its around cost price.

    Well if that's the going rate, I'll pay it. The unit is worth £500 so it's definitely worth getting it fixed. Guy in the garage doesn't charge for fixing it.
    thanks guys
