My Makita SDS is a couple of years old and has been a good workhorse,
especially recently when I've been digging out concrete with it but it
has just started to leak grease round the chuck

I decided to do something before the drill seized up and sent it back
to Makita for servicing. I was quoted £14 plus parts and postage for
the service which I thought was very reasonable

Yesterday a box turned up containing a brand new replacement drill
from Makita

Cant ask for better service!

Indeed not. Where did you send it?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (Anna
Kettle) saying something like:

Bosch did that for me a few years back when the reversing switch went
phut on a drill. Took me by surprise, given the drill was well out of
warranty.
