Thanks guys, i'll try it, it states that it holds together under pressure, I'll report back when I rebuild.

the problem with some is that they can have abrasive particles in them which will damage the charger scroll over time.  No point anyone telling you they've used some random one for 5k miles, use it for 20k and then open the charger up and see what it's like.

Personally I'd stick to the stuff that is known to be good and PSD spent years testing back in't day.

No idea if that stuff on ebay is any good and I don't see how anyone can really answer either unless they've already been using it for a significant amount of time.
