A4000D Floppy Failure

Hi There.
Does anyone know where I can get some HD floppy drives from for my A4000D.
Are there any HD PC drives which will work with it?
Thanks in advance.

Ebay is a no show really.
AmiKit sell floppys for £14, but I really want to replace with HD ones. (I assume AmiKits are just DD, they dont say they're HD).
I took a drive from my A1500, and it works(ish) as DD, but I feel like I'm missing something.

I'll have a go.
I cant make it any worse. It seems to be having a bit of trouble spinning the disk. Nasty grinding sound and loads of read/write errors. I got 3 4000D's, all working except for the bloody floppy drives.
The only drives I can get to work are in my A1500 which has been in my garage for about three years! Who'd have thought!
