I dont think that essential spares will become scarce for a while yet although the non essentials are already scarce/non existant eg powerfolds and switches.
However I have had for some years a policy of buying a spare or spares of any part which could possible go wrong on my two (after a search through this forum and others to see what the common complaints are) AS LONG AS THE PRICE ASKED WAS LESS THAN 25% OF LIST.
My theory being that if anything does go wrong I have the part and it cost a lot less than list giving cheaper running costs. Or If nothing goes wrong I can at least probably sell the parts to another owner for what I paid when I eventually give up Rover ownership.
