I've not tried Maplins. I've ordered the new part from Xpart. I've become very grumpy because of this problem.
Amdathlonuk, it took me a long time to figure out what exactly these motors are. It would be nice to have as much details as possible in one place, maybe all can post up here with others experiences?
I have read on the how to forum about how to repair motor. What I didn't find clear was there are actually 2 different motors and also if the manual drilling was to drill into the switch itself.
I also thought glue from a glue gun may work to secure the switches but I didn't want to try in case it melted and ceased the motor.
I have noticed without these butterfly valves working it becomes a lumpy and unresponsive drive, much like driving a car with a choke on or a flooded engine.
