They (EC) reckon that they have fixed the problem with the EmLub system.

But it's still bit of a red herring. The EmLub is designed to work when there has been a total loss of oil (ie the case cracks). It's not going to help much when a) the gearbox is still full of oil and b) the main shaft has sheared in half and is thrashing around inside the casing, ie the situation with both REDW and CHCN.
