Airbus 319/20 NWS RVDT

Anyone else finding these drift over time? We've had a fair few in our fleet recently that have drifted causing the NWS to track either left or right. Always proven and easily adjusted but a little strange given RVDT's are usually rock steady.
Average fleet age now around 4 years.

Same story with the 340-600, something about premature wear in the drive for the RVDT has been talked about.

The 340-300 has similar problems. The -600 suffered a fair few hydraulic leaks from te steering swivel valves as well, caused several delays in the early days.
Also know of a -600 that lost its steering as it was turning onto 09R at LHR, causing a major blockge of the runway! That was due to the RVDT's
