I have got it fixed and got it back now and it's working ok again. I was using it yesterday and forgot to put the earth clamp on, so there was no weld current and I thought it had packed up again.

I have got it fixed and got it back now and it's working ok again. The UK importer/repair company told me that it has a design problem for the UK domestic electric supply and the odd one or two have stopped working. They fixed it and got it back to me but said they will send someone round at a later date to do a modification to it to prevent it packing in again.
