Tourer rear light/clips

uk_dave&gill · 15th February 2012, 14:18

Had to change the side light bulb on the right hand side rear today, and found that the Muppet that recently fitted my tow bar had not only broken one of the stupid little clips, but also the mounting for the lower screw bracket

I seem to recall that getting replacement clips is another one of those hen's teeth things, but if anyone can advise otherwise...?

Also, to get the light so it's not just hanging on by the top two fixings, I may be looking at a replacement unit. Are these chicken gnashers too?

Cheers Philip!

If that number was from memory, then you must have a darn good memory!

Using the code supplied by your amazing memory, I have just found that South Lakeland Minis also have them, but for £1.65 as opposed to Rimmer's £2.82

I want to order four to be safe, so SLM is £6.60 (£10.10 inc P&P) as opposed to Rimmer's £11.28. Can't find out how much their P&P is without going most of the way through the order process, but even if it's free, SLM is still going to be cheaper!

SLM a little bit "naughty"

Price per clip is £1.65, so four is £6.60

P&P is £3.50, so expected to pay £10.10

However, VAT is mentioned at checkout stage, and is charged on the whole £10.10, making a total of £12.12

Now I'm not sure if VAT on P&P is "legal" (?? guess it must be) but, on going to PayPal to pay, this bill is now itemised as

Item total £8.62
P&P £3.50

which makes it look like they are covering the fact that VAT is going on postage? And suddenly VAT has been charged at 30% on the clips!
