£20 for 10 though.  The OP could sell the others individually for a profit! :laugh:

Cable tie won't really work for this in fairness.  It's a quick release clip to access the fusebox.  There are some cheap Chinese copy ones on eBay or AliExpress though they may not fit and will probably takes months to arrive lol.

Spoken like a true Scotsman  Yorkshireman  Irishman (got there in the end) 🤣

If Isetta was still around he'd have just hammered a nail in 🤣🤣

Not sure what a Mk8.5 is but  it must surely be still under warranty and this is just a dealer visit?

Warranty only covers defective parts.  Not those that have been carelessly sucked up the hoover. :biggrin:

Not by me 😂, they sold it to me like that, but buyer beware I expect, they (Trust Ford) did replace the missing brake fluid filler cap though. 🙄

Major Ford franchise selling a car with brake fluid cap missing  ?  That is really bad.  New or used , so much for PDI or Ford Used car check.  Worth a written complaint I would say.

I looked at that the other way...shows they must have at least checked the brake fluid before sending the car out.  Which is a lot more than they did to one of mine.  Delivered with a smashed fog light, door seals hanging off and even faeces under the passenger seat!  Needless to say it got returned immediately.  Apparently there had been an error so it got delivered instead of prepped, but it was covered in forecourt stickers that said 'drive me home today'...which would suggest it had some sort of prep done before hitting the forecourt.

Just looked at that link now and it says £10 + free postage?

If that's right, even for a Yorkshireman hardly worth the wear on your clog irons tramping round the scrappies.

Blimey, with a price cut like that I'm almost tempted to buy some myself! :biggrin:

Judging by the hair all over the rear seats, I assume it was from a dog, though nothing would surprise me nowadays.  

The car was under 2 years old and had less than 10k miles on it.  Most expensive car I'd ever bought at the time, and the first one from a Ford dealer.  Needless to say I wasn't impressed at all.
