I’ve got a massive big bucket in work full of nuts and bolts of all sizes. I don't know where they came from…….

Remind me not to bring my car to you for a service.
Might come back with a few screws missing.

lol. With many parts, you get new fitting bolts, clips, shims etc so I save the old ones. If I do a mates car I give them a plastic bag back with a few random bolts and tell them they were left over and I don’t know where they go but it seems to be working okay…….

Do your cars ever get as far as a service, or do they get written off before they get the chance?

Ouch! That hurt!
It still had 800 miles to go before its major service. I was going to book it in at the end of the month.

I just rang my local ford dealer, £1.39 for the actual part and they'll have it in by 15:00 this afternoon. So, I may as well buy it! In the actual part the whole piece is 'welded' together.

Thanks to @mcprinter for sharing this , so I could quote the part number directly to ford 1576137

Cheap enough not to even think twice, but the "repair" you did is totally serviceable, I wouldn't even bother changing it.

But nothing wrong with doing so.

That's a bargain. Stuff like this is normally unreasonably expensive

wow - £1.39 - I havent found a dealer who even knows those numbers , most start with a 10 -

I had to get an LED for a running light for a Citroen pre-covid , dealer price £33 + vat - halfords £2.50 for 2 inc vat !!!!!

My bolt bucket actually came in handy today when I needed just one wheel nut.
