I think I of you log onto your account page under spares or upgrades you can order a replacement. Unless its still under warranty then I would give them a ring in the morning

They're out of stock and I'm unsure when theyll get more in. I need a new one as quick as possible otherwise I'm screwed haha I'm supposed to go back to Birmingham for my dads 60th. But if I cant get a new lead I'll have to stay in Newcastle and maybe miss it :/

PCS would be best placed to tell you where you can look for an alternative. I'd get back in touch with them, explain your situation and ask them where you can look for another (temporary one) while they wait for stock to come in.
