You're right, you really should expect a longer lifespan from such an expensive component. :frown:

However, I guess anything can give up the ghost prematurely. :(

I'm guessing you're out of warranty, so I'd get yourself to a non franchise garage, get the part yourself from David JC Parts and have them fit it. Save yourself mucho £'s!! We just did that with our brakes on our R56. A £690 bill from the dealer ended up costing £400. :D
