I would hit the local Stlr and ask if they will cover some/all of it under
"good will" or, the possible under the radar "customer complaint fix"
for that specific problem...I recall a few posters getting it r & r'd for
free or reduced cost, and I sort of recall a non-pub'd TSB for that
ubiquitous cold weather problem, too.

Worth a shot...the worst the Stlr can say is no and you can take it to an
Indie then to save some dough.
