I think it's the clear plastic piece being deformed that has caused the battery to drain too especially as the key seems to work OK otherwise. If it was the circuit board in my opinion it would either work or it wouldn't. (I'm sure @Everest will correct me 😁)
You can get just the shell...
It's not just dealers though. Most companies nowadays seem reluctant to keep the customer informed in case it's not the news they want to hear. When are they going to realise keeping the customer in the dark and false promises winds them up more than anything.
I first mentioned it to the dealer...
Update 6:
I rang the dealer up this morning to get a progress report on the CCU availability. One, to remind them that I'm not going away, and two, their track record of keeping me informed isn't the best.
Hopefully it's good news in that they should have the part early next week 🤞
Agreed. In the late 60's and early 70's E Type Jags were going through the auctions with a reserve of £100 each, which is the equivalent of £2000 in today's money.

I think the timing used to change to save the suppliers having to change the time on the old meters when the clocks altered but...
Just a thought. If the outer skin became slightly unseated from its mounting on the black cover could it prevent the whole assembly being pushed in enough to release the catch?
Sometimes after plugging the charger into your car and swiping your credit card you have to take the weight off the plug by lifting it slightly for a few seconds to ensure a good connection.
I was told by the famous R F Potts of Derby, who are a specialist of computer electrical and electronic components and equipment, that the main thing when replacing these sort of batteries is not to touch both sides with your fingers at once and if possible use plastic tweezers so as not to...
It'd be interesting to find out why they fail. Is it poor components, bad design or a software issue.
I seem to remember mine failed soon after I heated the cabin via the app while it was still attached to my charger for the first time.
