Faulty lens question

I have a new condition Yongnuo 85mm f/1.8 lens which comes up with the
usual "ERROR 01 lens not communicating with camera- clean lens contacts"
on the screen. It will sometimes work properly, but not often, but when used in a programme that allows me to dictate the aperture, such as AV or M, it works perfectly at f/1.8, but not at any other aperture.
My question is, is it worth getting this cheap lens repaired?[ it is nice and sharp, and has lovely bokeh], and if so, who in Australia would do it?
Thanks in advance for any info. Oh, and yes I have cleaned the life out of the contacts.
