Ok so apparently it's my own fault, although it's not a failure I've heard of it has happened to other people. A good lesson in why communities shouldn't get snippy about faults with detectors.
In the manual it tells you to remove the red dive plug after use, what it doesn't elaborate on is that if you don't, then over time the seals in the keypad can burst if exposed to fluctuations in temperature.
I rarely removed the red plug, I assumed the power socket would vent pressure, however that is apparently sealed as well.
So XP won't replace the pod under warranty, but they did offer me a replacement at a massive discount, essentially their cost price. I'm still thinking it over, but it's a cheap option and my old pod certainly had seen a bit of wear and tear.
