There is no timescale because "sourcing" is a euphemism for "haven't got and no plans to find".

You either need to seek a pattern part or start using Google to hunt around the suppliers of Europe. You should also remember that the same part will be used on several different models. Finally, and this is where I ultimately succeeded, there is the question of breakers yards.

They can generally make up a new part to match the old one,. Look up "Hydraulic specialists" Tell us how you get on. Pirtek springs to mind, look it up, I think there is one in gatwick ind est.
