In the meantime, are you a member of CPS? They have loan cameras, and although it's unlikely they'd lend you one until Feb 2004 (!), it might be a temporary solution. The workshop is on 0845 120 3612.
If you do borrow a 1Ds body, make sure you do a check for front of back focussing with your lenses.
Good luck.

I have a Canon 1Ds that developed a sensor fault last month. The sensor was
replaced under warranty. The new sensor is also faulty (with a fault that
Canon have never heard of) and this time there are no more sensors available
until February 2004. I bought the camera from Leeds (who don't exist now).
Any ideas what I should do, given that I've got digital jobs booked in most
days? Canon seem to be unavailable for comment at the moment. Meanwhile I'm
stuck with a �5500 lump of virtually useless metal & plastic, and there are
no 1Ds's available as replacement even if they would agree to give me one or
even sell me one. I don't want to have to rely on my 10D as back up as it
just isn't up to the job (way to slow to write to the card).
I might add that Fixation have been absolutely wonderful trying to help, but
their hands are tied by the lack of responses/parts from Canon.
