Metalsub Magnet

hey there everyone..

I sussed the problem, one of the control magnets in the handle is coroded and no longer works the trigger, does anybody know where I can find one, nobody here stocks them and the U.K dealer says they dont stock parts, for them to fix it I gotr to send it to the U.K and pay a £100.00 service fee plus the cost of parts.

I had an issue with the tops of my my tank clamps wearing out and releasing my tanks spontaneously and they were most helpfull (offered a full replacement after I send them photos of the touble spot.)

Your lighthead should not show corrosion internally.. sounds like a dodgy seal to me... how old is the torch? If under 24 months it should still be under warrenty.
