    Thanks all, contacted Calmut/ Wex in Edinburgh, they send all their cameras to a division of their company called Fixation Photography. They give a label to post to them for £5, send by Parcelforce they find the fault tell you how much to repair, if you don’t want it done they will send it back free of charge. Anyone dealt with them before?
    I haven’t personally David but I know people who have and they spoke highly of the service received.

            Do not know what I did to it, but it requires a new screen focus? Fpc assembly, AF focus? & mirror box assembly? Second mortgage applied for. Should have it back in 8 days.

              Blimey, so the box it came in is ok, sounds as if that is about all they are not changing.

                anything thats out of warranty is a millstone . either buy new from somewhere like h.dew (3 years u.k warranty on cameras) 1 yr on lenses . buy used from wex 1 yr warranty on used .both are trusted sellers and I have tested out there warranty they do what it says on the tin .
                any of the other dealers etc that only give 3 or 6 months warranty ignore. and avoid the auction sites unless your selling your faulty junk

                BTW with a 700d I would have thought that was a uneconomic repair ,what was the quote

                    As you are aware I am saving for 7dmk2, I realise that I could get a decent second hand 700d for £300, but that is £70 over what I am spending for repair of mine & that is £70 towards the 7d.
