The thing is, my heater speed one bust again, i went to repair it, and the whole wire for speed one just dicintegrated!
If your good with a soldering iron, best to replace the whole wire

Ha Ha might you be suggesting I WILL break it?!
I can break anything I touch although to look at me you would not expect it!

You are better to solder the breaks rather than twist them. The solder doesn't like to stick well but if you take your time it can be done, I did mine ages ago and have never had a problem since.
