Ok, so I have been chatting with one of the very knowledgeable German forum members regarding check straps.
Initially I asked if they have a group buy for them. But it turns out that this member has developed a brass roller to replace the plastic ones that deteriorate and cause the awful clicking noise.
He is going to complete the repair to my car this summer, and he said he's more than happy to give me some brass rollers for the UK Forum members to use for free.
I don't know how many he will give me, since 'a few' was what he offered. But just wondered if anyone is interested in this sort of thing?
I'll bring some back anyway. But could be a very cheap fix. As I understand it, he's charging me 7eur per door to swap out the parts. I trust his knowledge, especially since he is one of their OSS repair gurus!
-------EDIT: ROLLER DIMENSIONS-------
Brass or plastic rolls with dimensions of 12.7mm diameter, 5.3mm bore and a height of 14.0mm (confirmed by Papahans)
