Thanks Simon
Got the part number from Chiswick Honda - will check out a few breakers yards in the week.
Also, I notice from another thread that Chiswick deals with a few pretty smashed up cars so will give their service dept a call and see if I can blag an old (cheaper!) one

Quick update:
Spoke to Richard at Chiswick who suggested that the car might be still covered under warranty....
Warranty ran out on 17th March.... D'oh!
Also, they're fixing all the broken cars they have in atm, so no luck there.
Entered my details into a spare parts website and got a call from a breakers yard in March near Cambridge:
They are sending me a roof catch via courier for

Glad you are sorted.
Now that you have just saved yourself the cash for 2 full tanks of Optimax, may I suggest you drive straight out of London to some quiet roads and give it some welly.
Cleaning is so much easier if you get the car mucky beforehand.
Wishing everyone a fast and furious Easter weekend.
Noony.

It was very easy...
I couldn't unscrew the two screws that attach the whole catch assembly to the roof, so I removed the two pins that act as the hinge.
They are held on by a couple of small clips which came off easily, but it was a bit fiddly. Swapped the two catches around, re-inserted the pins and clips....job done.
