Cleaning does NOT "sort it out" It may give it a temporary fix, at best.
YOU PROBABLY NEED A NEW ETM.
This is a known issue, ALL went bad at some point from 99 thru 01
(I thought the warranty extended to the UK)
Read the posts above in Don's ETM room, there was an owner who won in court (in the UK), you may be able to cite the case and get a new one for free
