I have just sent my 2010 M9 off for sensor replacement. I emailed Wetzlar 
then got an email from Leica France, they sent me a pdf with a postage paid 
courier label (all paperwork done beforehand). Boxed camera up, dropped into 
La Poste and it arrived in Paris the following day  at no cost to me. Will 
let you know how long replacement takes to arrive......

Or a small charge if not, I am going to try it for my M9 sensor replacement 
rather than going through the Montpellier dealer (again). It was only a 
suggestion if it got you a cheaper M9, you do not have to do it this way.
