When I came across that article I linked to above, I saw a few comments suggesting that the cause was due to the cable stretching (seems odd that it would suffer from this, as not exactly a heavily used item). Unfortunately no one had ever come across a solution.

I looked it up and the part number is 4D0857131J. I found someone selling new ones, although they're based in the US. They're selling them for $12 each but shipping is $102. If you know someone in the US you could get it shipped to them and have them post it and it would probably work out cheaper. I ordered five bolts ($28) that cost me $33 in shipping.

Anyway, they have more than 10 available and the link is as follows:
