If you know anyone who lives on the European mainland you could get them to buy it for you or possibly just use their address and then get them to send it to you.

I use Touratech-Nord in Hamburg when I stay in Denmark. So if you are happy to collect you can order it through them. Admittedly, it is a long way to go for a single item. There are other German and European Touratech outlets, they are probably listed on their website.

Otherwise, are there any other manufacturers out there you can use. Can someone like Overland Solutions help?

Suggest you give TT Australia a try. Brilliant service, informative, extremely helpful, and from time of ordering, the longest that anything has taken to arrive was 5 working days.

I've posted before offering an address in Spain if anybody is passing through on their way to Morocco. Touratech in Madrid are about the same prices as Germany, but given the costs of postage, it may not be any cheaper once you've added postage to the UK, but the service will without a doubt be better!!

Alternatively, if people can do a group buy and have it sent to my address we can look into the costs of a courier - there are always plenty of people doing van runs between southern Spain and the UK.
