I had mine go last year while I was in Ireland, thought it was the Reg/Rec go again, but when the RAC got involved back in the UK and added a new Reg/Rec it still did not charge the battery, so I looked into getting it rewound but it would cost more than getting a new one from Davisilvers, but then I had a chat with Bike Traeds in Swindon and they did the full job of fitting a new one for little over the price of a new one from Davidsilvers.
