‘Scuse me if I have the wrong terminology here, but I seem to have lost the clip that the pole that holds the bonnet up clips into when not in use. Apparently (according to my repairer) that happens a lot. Anyone know where I can get a new one?

But a lump of butyl rubber or a piece of gaffa tape is much, much cheaper

You’ll have fun fitting that

.... or for a quid or so you can fit one for a Landrover defender. I got one for 99p on ebay a fair few years ago and it fitted/workd fine.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it

Look on ebay...
I bought 20 for 99p from China couple of years ago. Had to wait a week or so for delivery but got plenty of spares now available in my garage.
Seem to be £1.56 for 20 now which probably reflects what Boris Buffoon has done to the pound but still much better than SJS, their P&P is ridiculous ... £5.94 for putting a clip in an envelope..

Can recommend those, bonnet opens up higher, handy for tall people like me who kept cracking his head on the bonnet latch
