Well I fixed the clips, cleaned them up first so I could see how bad they were

Drilled a hole to stop the crack going any further. Then tried various forms of glue to fix them but they all pulled apart again as there is just not enough material to bond to. So used the hot knife attachment om my soldering iron to melt them together which worked well.

Then on the one with the broken off clip I heated up a metal clip and push it into the housing which appear to have done the trick. Not the best looking repair in the world but your never going to see them.

So I need a favour if someone can help. I'm been checking on ultraperformance for the crank locking tool but it's still out of stock, I emailed them but they were busy so so need another solution until they are back in stock and I will buy one. Let's face who does not like buying new tools. So I'm wondering of some would be kind enough to loan me a tool so I can get the belt done and fix any other problems in that area, as I do appear to have a small oil leak, and a snapped bolt. that holds the aircon pump in place.
