If you've melted wires and need a new piston I would expect it to cost more than £400 unless you were doing the work yourself - which I assume you aren't in a position to do.

Sounds like it's going to be expensive to repair. I'd be looking for a replacement secondhand and keep that for spares!
When you first ran it was there any telltale as it must have got really hot to damage it that badly ?
