As per the request an international dispatch has been set up for the replacement of the hard disk drive, thus in some days time you will receive the hard disk drive.
So there we have it. within 24 hours, they've dispatched me a new hard drive, right to here in Cayman no less! Ironically in the meantime, this hard drive started working again, but I don't trust it anymore. I'll ghost it, swap and ghost back and carry-on. 
Went diving today, I'll post that and pics tomorrow
