Cheap and cheerful, probably you can hold your breath longer than they will stay fixed.
But at that price maybe worth a try.

They fit fine if tightened and handled correctly. Unfortunately, many garages have no idea how to fasten turnbuckles and bust the lock. The screws then vibrate and drop away.

I bought a pack as a replacement for 1 failed one and spares. It took a bit of fettling to get into place, but worked fine.

One issue I found, was using a Philips driver for the originals and a flat driver for the new one.

None of this applies if the system is kept as designed. Each stud (except those on the front apron on pre-facelift Rovers) should be fitted with a nylon retaining washer KZM 100 030.

Oh, and of course grounding the undertray by driving too fast over speed humps will help to loosen and damage any fitting.

Might be worth having something like this in your toolbox to use those slotted type.

I found a standard flat blade screwdriver really chews them up. I welded a thick washer in to the end of a socket then ground it down to match the profile of the slot, but you can buy a ready made one like this. The slotted ones always seem to be cheaper than the crosspoint ones.
