Ah well, it was just a thought. Given that it does point to some kind of

Guess so - I was really just making conversation on a quiet day. ;-)

I bought it from an Ebay seller who didn't usually sell this sort of
thing. He also cancelled the transaction after I'd bought and received it
- which I thought strange. However, I got it cheaply - about 10% of the
retail price. I've bid on another secondhand one - swapping the cover
containing the magnets should give me a good as new one.

I wonder what the life expectancy of Brits would be if we drove cars
with all parts bought from ebay

Little different to what it is today.
