I've got a couple of breakers in my area, I'll have a look and see if I can find the bolt and funny shaped nut and drop them in the post to you. Simple enough to fit, you should be able to do it yourself.....

It would be nice to think that I could fix just ONE thing on this vehicle by myself (with a little help from my friends).

I do hope you get this fixed. As soon as I know when I am near you I will let you know.

Just got to find the nut and bolt. Called in today at Avenger 4x4 and showed him a picture of what I wanted. No chance was the answer. When he breaks a car for spares he throws all the wiring looms into a big bin and weighs it in for the scrap copper. He weighed a load in on Monday....... He suggested looking for BMW in a breakers as it was BMW era when the car was built so they may well have the same terminal.

Well done - I'm still puzzled by the Halfords but much worse comment though (how its possible to be worse!).

Well done mate,, let’s hope Teri has a 10 mm spanner or socket

It's 13mm for the nut but that's a very good point. I might have to bung a spanner in the Jiffi bag too. As for NorAuto Brian, think Halfords but with nothing more complicated than an oil filter or brake pads and even then, only for recent, French built, cars. They will sell you tyres though, provided you order them as you can guarantee the size you want won't be in stock (that'll take a week, maybe two....) , and fit them out the back although balancing them seems to be an art they have yet to master.
