Zippo Repair

Redhairedguy

I've a Zippo I bought about a year and a half ago that just isn't working no matter what I do.

I reckon it's a problem with the flint wheel thingy. Zippo have their beautiful lifetime guarantee policy which I intend to make full well use of

Tried looking online for some sort of contact details for a Zippo dealer. Found nada for this city/country. (Now having said that my interwebs is having a stroke at the moment, so prolonged browsing is impossible)

Haven't been in the city centre in about two weeks, so I haven't had a chance to go into Duffy's or the locksmith's in Corbett Court to ask.

Anyone have any experience with Zippo's?

Also, I appreciate that this is probably a shot in the dark and most likely shouldn't be in the Galway forum. Oh well... I are well frickin desperate at this stage.

What exactly is wrong with the wheel?
Is it too stiff to rotate?

Dented and worn like a mail order thai bride... There is no spark, (or a very little one) even with fresh flint.
