Hi your can is made from ABS there are people that have just used super glue but the right glues are readily available
go to a good plumbers merchant are ask for solvent cement for abs(solvent weld)
and wile your there ask for a solvent cleaner.
then take your scrubber apart and try to remove the old glue,
give the area that contacts together a clean with the solvent cleaner
give it an hour and then apply the solvent cement. i did it to both parts but try to not be to messy! then fit the two parts together giving them a twist to make sure the glue is really touching all around and wipe away any exes, then apply pressure to the parts( may be a heavy book) and leave it over night to be sure and all should be good for a few more years!
kind regards john routley

Beware solvent glues can distort things.
AP treat this as a warranty job.
Phone Nicky.

Or just sent it back to APD ... they did mine on my old Classic for free .... Just had a turnaround time of 1,5 week from Holland.

Posted it out Monday, got it back FOC on Thursday morning. They have impressed me this time as it took them over a month to fix the head, but suprisingly it was finished the day after I had sent them my C card. Can't fault them for service.
