Hi Keith!
I cannot comment on the R3's meter, specifically. Although I no
longer have the data at hand, I know that Kindermann, the Canadian
repair agency used to charge a significant premium for a CLA on an R3
as compared to the late 'R' cameras. As well, they would only
guarantee the repairs for 90 days, even though all other repairs were
guaranteed for 12 months.
I'd ask around at some reputable UK repair shops... there are a few
independents specializing in Leica. They should be able to give you
more guidance.
Good luck! Keep us posted on what you find out, will you?
Cheers!
