Found this online but £10 seems pretty steep for a bit of rubber. Anywhere I can pick it up for a little less or is that the going rate? I lost mine because I'm a spanner  :(

Try ringing your local dealer for a genuine one, but I imagine it will be more than a tenner and you'll have to go out and pick it up yourself.

 

If you left it on top of the engine after changing a bulb be sure to check the engine undertray, it might not be as lost as you think! 

I was rushing one day to change a bulb before I had to go to work and the thing fell down into the undertray, I thought it would be safe there until I had time to take it off and retrieve the rubber bit. When it went in for a service apparently nothing was there when they took the undertray off for the oil change. I can only assume there's a little hole it could of slipped through? Not checked for it myself.

Cheapest place would be a scrappy, especially if you had sticky fingers!

If you're still struggling after a week to find one, I'm sure I have 2 sitting at home. Offshore just now, so can't confirm.

Haha, apparently the scrapyard we have here isn't particularly good value but I'll keep the sticky fingers bit in mind

Yeah that sounds good! Could I paypal you £5 or so for you to stick it in an envelope and send it to me please?

Yeah, not a problem. I'll message you when I get home to confirm I have one and get your address.

Awesome! Cheers mate

Not forgotten about this. Trip has been extended, so will be late next week that I get home.

Cheers. I'm also away now. I go back on the 7th so I'm free to do it after that. I don't have my PayPal password here. Thanks :-)
