Its definatley a mechanical failure with the lovely noises it comes with. I just talked to one of the services and they said it needs to be taken apart and rebuilt. Quoted me $900 to $1500. Freem diagnostics and no data no charge policy. Now I have to put a price on that stuff. I'm sure I would get by just fine without it but I wonder if 20 years from now I'm gonna be kicking myself in the arse for not getting it.
