Can yu npost a photo of the situation?

I tried to mend it  but the lead attaches to the motor under the cap with an eyelet screwed  onto the motor

When I re soldered the wire to the top of the motor it fell apart so I cannot see how it all fits back.

its the small wire from the cap looping into the casing  with the black  tube..

 

hence replacement needed £ 150 pounds they want!!!!!

I will compare with my cg5 this evening.

It may be that prying off the black cap will allow internal access to the terminal.
