Wehave three curtain nrails in our lounge.
The nylon or plastic moving bits pn one of them has snapped off leaving the
curtain hanging off.

Where on earth can I find a supplier that might have spares?

They change the design every few years, what make is it? Swish?

Often the only option is to make your own bits but after a while the
plastic goes brittle. The motor driven ones loose teeth on the gears.

It was Swish. I googled and found a matching picture on a dealer's
website and bought a replacement. I have yet to take the rail down and
get the ends off. I couldn't do it while it was up.

We had this problem a year or two back. If you google something like "swish curtain track spares" (or whatever your brand is) you may find them. Alternatively try eBay. The difficult bit is working out the right combination of search words.

The only place I've found for spares is Ebay/Amazon sellers. There are a
few who stock spares/clone replacement bits for a large range of
obsolete curtain rails (at a cost). It helps to know the brand of the
rail but the Ebay sellers usually have pictures of the parts to compare.

In my experience if one plastic bit has snapped it will not be long
before another will snap - usually when trying to replace the first bit.

Random example of a few Ebay sellers to show the type of seller to seach
for . In this case the search was for Swish Curtain
