Cool Traction Control actuator... AGAIN

Hi traction control victims.
I am wondering if the traction control motors in Rover 75s (Actuaqtor-Secondary part# SWY 1000030 ) are just badly build using plastic cog teeth or there is a external factor that causes the cogs to get their teeth ripped off??? Something to do with the cable set up or dirty manifold or or ???

I have just installed my third one in 3 years. At 300+ Euro a pop.
After searching a few posts I dismantled the two broken units using the tips in this thread from another forum http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=172482 and found broken plastic cog teeth in both.
The good news, different broken cogs in each unit so, I carefully rebuilt one working unit taking care to get the spring loaded cog properly set up. Now I have a new unit in the car and a spare repaired one for the next disaster and hopefully less expensive experience.
