Re: Bump stops either side of the boot lid - sourcing?

Alas they are NLA now. Tradition had some a few years back but afaik they are long gone now.

They would be pretty hard to print I think as they have a metal backing with the rubber bonded to it. That structure and strength would be hard to replicate.

The upper is 8A5827249, lower adjustable bit ...

Re: It's not just the battery....

instead of sending a replacement said it was my fault and offered another one to buy for a discounted price….



Yeah that sounds about right :roll:

Bear in mind if you don't have an original pump (or at least a Chinesium copy) in the tank, it won't drive the suction jets and you'll run out of ...
