I like both of these. If you do Facebook there is an active group there called Abandoned Aesthetics. These would be right at home.

Found an alternative repairer. Posted it off today. Which will hopefully save a little time. 1st Aid repairs. https://1staidrepairs.co.uk/
They first checked they can obtain the part needed. Quoted £62 for the shutter, & £150 labour. Inc sensor clean. Camera service and return postage. So let's hope this is now problem solved..
PS. My retailer Wex outsource their repairs to a company by the name of Fixation. Based here in Manchester. I was chatting with their technician. And though he couldnt repair it. Gave me the name of a company DK audio. https://www.dkavs.co.uk/about-us/ Maybe one for the future.

Finally made contact with J Pye.. They will repair it, but are too busy at present to look at it. So could take some time. As it's not a warranty repair....!! Cost will be at least £250. Once inspected.

How are you contacting them ? Though I've tried again today without sucess.
Have you tried asking the retailer who you bought the camera from to contact them on your behalf.
