anyone who is a plastic welder should be able to fix that, infact the bodyshop you take it too for fitting should be able to sort it.

£5 is a propper bargain!

Personly for the cost of a new one, i would have saved myself the hassle of getting it fixed.

my main concern would be sourcing a splitter for an equally small proportionate amount of cash to make it worthwhile

Its an easy repair probaly cost between £30-40 for repair.

And splitters come up on ebay all the time for about £20

So still a bargain

Did you mange to get the bit's that had snapped? If so, soldering iron, and then some fibreglass and it should be fine . Could probably bodge it all out of fibreglass if you wanted and had a bit of time.
