You should be able to replace your hood with a 'marina' brand unit.

I get mine from the LFS, and have had no problems in three years.

Thanks Dave, only thing my tank has rounded corners and all the
electrics (for the fluvel filter and the heater) run into a 'choc
block' built into the hood.

Two thoughts:
The marina hood can be cut with a junior hacksaw. It is how I made extra
cutouts for the filter hanger.
You could 'round' the corners to fit.
Can you undo the electrics from their 'choc-box' and fit them into a new
switching unit?

That's what I thought I might have to do but was hoping I might just
be able to replace like for like, especially as the original fitted
into grooves around the top of the tank and had a built in
condensation tray.
