I don't think its too bad, considering the age of it. Most manufacturers
only make a certain number of parts and ass the stocks go down, they either
have to make more, which costs due to small batch numbers, or restrict them
through price, in both cases the costs go up. For new belts for a tape deck
they went from 50p to five pounds in 10 years, as they perish so keeping old
stock was never an option as Sony told me, but they lasted well, so no
issues.

I have tracked down the source of a significant leak in my 12 year old
Bosch dishwasher. There's a worn O ring on the water inlet side of things.
It's a fairly chunky O ring about 2 cms wide.

Bosch still sell these, but annoyingly they charge around £25 for a set of
4.

I don't think it's possible to silicone the joint. Any other suggestions?

The machine has been used once or twice a day for 12 years, and I was
happily contemplating a new Bosch to replace it, but the price of this
simple spare has put me off.
