Dishwasher basket needed urgently

My dishwasher basket is rapidly falling apart. I have seen "universal" replacements on ebay for £5 but the postage brings the cost up to £8. Any ideas where I could get one? I thought I might be able to use a sink drainer but they are all too big.

    Try CPC - http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/aboutus/additionalinformation4.jsp - they're a trade supplier, but should let you order with a credit card. They'll get a quote for the actual basket - it will cost a bit more than £8 if your talking about the wire basket and not just the cutlery basket

    Small basket for cutlery. My dishwasher is a slimline one. I need to measure it. Looks like ebay is going to be the best place to get one, I didnt realize they were so expensive.
