I replaced both of these on my MC2 for about £60 IIRC. I imagine the Vario will be more expensive to repair, but always feels good to keep things going. Do you know how to check a motor to see if it's fucked?
If you have a multimeter, it's quite straightforward.

These videos helped me. No continuity over opposite commutator bars was what proved my motor was fucked.

The motor on a Vario is about the same price, let's see what my guy says... TBH if he tells me what the problem is and the labour is gonna be too expensive I can always take it away and fix it myself to save some cash... Don't really wanna buy a new grinder, I know this one's nine or so years old but it hasn't been used that much in that time as I'm only a one/two cup a day type of guy...

@Tenderloin Is yours totally FUBAR then?

No it works but it won’t grind fine enough. After replacing pulley and motor and several strip downs and rebuilds I’m taking a break from it as it was winding me up. I think I’ll probably sell it as soon as Niche become available again
