Well think again...
SWMBO's Mini was missing a jacking point rubber, so I trundled into the local Mini parts department and ordered one. Total price including VAT was £11.16. I bought a jacking point rubber a couple of years ago for my Viano as one was missing and the total cost was under £1.00 at the time.
Looking at them both the one for the Mini (on the right in the attachment) is way over engineered as the one from the Viano is half the size and weight and works perfectly well for a vehicle twice the weight of the Mini and costs less than 10% of the price
