This load of old rubbish is also used on the Islander where it causes no end of problems. The leak is an allowance not a right and 5 knots in three minutes would have no significant effect on instrument accuracy. The manufacturers stated life for the item is 900 hours. Few acheive even 100 hours as the heating/cooling cracks the internals. A recent new design is no better.
