>>How old was the clip?
59-plate car, so 11 years.
Checked other clips - all rusty on surface but good metal beneath and plenty of 'spring' left in them.
The underside of the FRV is a scabby rusty mess* - was a car designed for the Asian market I suspect, so not terribly resistant to salty roads.

Brake and fuel lines look ok on brief inspection. Will have a thorough look under it at the weekend when I have time and better light
*Though it looks a lot better now after I rust-killed and undersealed it in February or March.
