I think you are right Osem. We can't win these days. At one time it was the specialist labour charges that made repairs expensive but now it is either scrap the item altogether and buy new, or, swap out a whole system and still be charged the earth for the privilege of trying to be eco friendly.
My toolbox and I are a legend in our family. After years of tinkering with bits and bobs there is nothing much I won't attempt, or many tools and gadgets I don't have. I just hate throwing something away without seeing if I can fix it first. Being told something is unfixable tends to bring out the stubborn streak in me. Saved us a few £s over the years though.
