apparently they did have a spare except the spare was faulty as well.
IIRC they were very careful in their wording around this... they didn't say MEL had a 'new' part, just that they had a 'replacement' part. Which could suggest it had been previously repaired or reconditioned (if allowed under regulations for that part, obviously). Once they talked about SYD it became a 'new' part.
