Oh, I was thinking about the clips that look a bit like a cross that fit over the outer edge of the pads  :-[

I think their called spring clips
There is an FAQ on the rear brake fitting kits, has the part numbers for the vented calipers

....they're retaining clips or springs.
Vauxhall used to do a kit - I remember buying it when I first got my car but that was a long time ago now!  :)

The spring clip from the solid disc set is fine, just clean up and reuse the pins :y

Not so, it can jam between the pads... Effectively locking out the rear brakes.

Try a different dealer, just in case.  Some seem to suffer CBA.

Apologies, I thought they were the same. I've always just reused, even if I have to repair them

This was the reality five years ago... complete set was around £40 last time I bought any.
