Mathmos Jet

I have a UK mathmos JET lamp in black. It was bought about 14 years ago and i've just found it again after a massive clearout. I've switched it on and it appears I may have overheated it. There was a 60w bulb in there which resulted in a large chunk of lava sitting at the top of the bottle as well as a good chunk sitting at the bottom. I've replaced the 60w with a 40w oven bulb from b and q but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this or is it goosed??

And does anyone know where I can obtain a new bottle from for the jet? I've emailed mathmos but no reply as yet....

Thanks

Yeah it's definately metal. I've ordered a 30w bulb so will see how that goes.

Once I get it in how should I proceed to get that lump of wax down??

Quite gutted that mathmos deleted the jet. It's a nice intro into the world of lava!! Plus this lamp was bought when I was about 14 or 15 and i'm 28 now so would like to get it running again.
