Mine went at the end of May slightly less mileage than yours. Phoned Motorworks and bought a new one from them, no idea what make it is but I needed it quickly. Also fitted the jump start kit at the same time.
When the magnets came loose on my original unit after about 45000 miles I bought a cheap Chinese made one from German eBay. Seemed like a good idea at the time but it only lasted a few thousand before letting me down on a trip this year. The casting holding the bendix blew apart and deposited itself all over the inside of the bell housing.
I now have a new Valeo OEM unit fitted which I bought from Motobins a few weeks ago. Cost about £180 but seems much better quality. I guess you get what you pay for.

Thanks for all the info chaps,looks like I'll be ordering just the housing from the u.s. Every thing else is in good nick.
