In your newsreader, look in the uk.* hierarchy, for the nearest
newsgroup for your question. Those people have a much better
idea who you can trust with such a repair.

And remember that, it is not that the repair itself is
difficult, it's that awful glue that is all over the place.
That has to be cleaned up. And it's not easy to get that
stuff off. If the glue had not been used, your sub would
still be working. The glue becomes conductive when it
breaks down chemically.
