My next idea is to try and measure the diameter of the core plug and obtain a replacement and see if on removing the DEM it is possible to dig out the old plug and drive in a replacement?
The alternative is to obtain another AOC and do a strip-down and swap?

Any thoughts on how much work it is to carry out such a task? Has anyone ever attempted a DIY strip-down of this unit?

Out local garage/service station has no experience of these..

Thanks,
Bill
Hmm, That sounds like a much bigger issue than I had to be fair. If it were mine, I'd be looking to fit a new (second hand) AOC (Active On Coupling) assembly complete so you know you're starting with everything sorted. Try Mike at Huddersfield Volvo breakers. Good luck.
