Recently bought a nice old V50 diesel which I like. It's missing its brake pedal rubber, but for the life of me I can't find anyone online that sells these. G&S, ebay, Amazon, plus general Google searches have all turned up nowt. Any leads on this would be massively appreciated as I'm fairly sure it's an MOT fail. Thanks.

Why not try the main dealer. Some bits arent too expensive, you might be surprised !

Yes, sometimes the main dealer is less than the likes of ebay. A little while ago I was browsing ebay and came across a listing for a second hand cover for the OBD port on my C70. Price £14 with free postage. Now two things crossed my mind 1, I did not know there should be a cover over the OBD port and 2, I was not going to pay £14 for a small bit of second hand plastic. Next time I was in the dealers for some other parts I enquired if the cover was still available and if so how much. The answer was: Yes, still available and cost £0.70. Needless to say my C70 now has a new cover.

I thought the main dealer might be suggested and of course I will try them, I was just surprised to find no alternatives at all on the open market. I suppose they're slow-moving items with low margins but you'd have thought someone might have plugged the gap. Might be an ebay business for someone!
