Wiring clip part required

[BigMig]

Hi all

I'm doing some work on my car which involves removing and refitting some of the wiring and sensors around the rear end (e.g. abs sensor, brake wear etc) during the removal process I've snapped a couple of the clips/fasteners that attach connectors to the car.

So I'm now wanting to track down some replacements. I've tried an auto electrician trade counter and they didn't have them but suggested only Aston would supply. I tried AM dealer and you can only get the clips with new wiring looms, e.g. new brake wear sensor etc. Seems a bit ridiculous for a 10p clip.

So any thoughts on where else, in the UK, I might be able to the a couple of the following items, the broken part is the fir tree plug which should be top right on the second pic:





I found that the company Hellermann Tyton manufacture something very similar, but you only seem to be able to buy in bulk batches (1000s) from these guys and they're based in the USA.

Looks like you have two options;

1) Buy new Aston brake wear sensor wiring loom for close to £30

2) Do what I did when I had to replace mine and buy the Land Rover Discovery front brake wear sensor loom for £4.19, tie the extra cable up with a cable tie and swap the rubber clips.

Or this rear Discovery 5 one for £10 even has the twin pins. The cranked sensor makes for a neater fitment as well.
