£10-20 would be fine, £20 is a bit high really but hey, you get what you pay for, take it to a shop with a tech you know or trust, not a chain store.

I was looking in the yellow pages, theres a bloke who repairs em, doesnt work for a shop or anything so I'd try him before I go to one of the shops here.

yay! I left the glue to dry for 24 hours, just strung'er up and it plays in tune (until the strings decide to stretch and knock out again :lol: )

I do not like these tuners though. The EZ lock system actually makes it harder to get good wraps around the posts in my opinion. I'm probably gonna get some new ones, any suggestions?

Thats good news, i cant say I have ever had to glue in a nut since it is held in by a good fit and string pressure.

At least it plays in tune though

Yeah its not the best fit as when tapping it out, the old one decided to rip out a bit of the wood behind the nut, so it doesnt fit snugly anymore.

err = you're not supposed to wrap the strings around the posts with ez locks - just in one hole and out the other (oh er) - that's the point of them.

Yeah, on the thinner strings though I still seem to get wraps around for some reason, works like it should on the thicker ones though.
