Subject: [Leica] Leica CL Questions

A year ago I was lucky enough to purchase a well used Leica CL.   One of
the problems it had was a crack in the plastic  part of the take up
spool.  It had a few other problems and I sent it back to Leica Camera
USA to have them fix it.  

The plastic part of the take up spool was replaced.   And a few rolls of
film later it had a crack in it again.

Question 1)  	Am I doing something wrong to cause this crack?

Question 2)	Should I bother to have it replaced again or try and fix it
myself with some glue?

Question 3)	 When you first turn it on the meter does not respond right
away.  I either have to aim 		it at a bright light or move the shutter
speed dial to make the meter turn on.  Is this 		normal?

Question 4)	I have the 40mm F2 and 90 mm F4.  How compatible are these
lenses with a Leica 		M6 body?
