Done … good luck with this

I had a similar issue with Roger recommending the same cure. I’ve not used as much copper shield but a few strips have solved the problem.

Hi Roger, thanks for the reply. I have already attempted to do that, using conductive paint and copper tape. It certainly could be cause but after receiving a replacement cover from Warwick and the problem not going away, I thought I’d share and see what response I got. I’ll look at it again.
