Hi all I am currently doing my GCSEs and have had all my remaining sensors fail so I can't use the system. Out of the last 5 sensors - 4 have failed (it was obviously a defective batch). Abbott are going to take a week to replace the sensors and I'm desperately looking for someone who has a spare one I could buy off them so I can go into my exams with the best control I can manage. I have an exam every day next week. Does anyone have a spare sensor I could buy? I live in Sussex but will travel to get one if necessary. Here's hoping...

@Snapsy, I think that there is a limitation on sending PMs to and from people that have posted less than a certain number of forum posts to protect against bots.

You're right, @paulliljeros - I hadn't realised - thankfully a kind moderator has stepped in, and we're now in touch via e-mail.

It should be in the top - click on the MAIL icon and you can set up a PM!

Let us know if it doesn't work

Thanks, @Administrator - I kept getting an error message when trying to send the
PM once I'd written it. No problem now though as contact has been established via other means!

All sorted!

I am sorry but I don't. Besides, I don't tink I'm allowed to sell any sensor to you if I had one spare.
