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.

I ordered these and they arrived very quickly.
Did my oil change yesterday, so as the undertray was off I used these to replace a couple that were missing plus renew all 4 on front edge under the bumper. Easy to install and seemed to lock in place ok. Time will tell, I suppose but they seem good.

No they're not, if fitted properly using the washers.
Why do some people begrudge buying these washers then spend just as much on an inferior alternative?
