Can you help me please?

The bungee cord thingy that attaches the blue cover to our Conway trailer tent (Coniston - 1996) looks as though it's on its last legs and we think we should replace it before it lets us down. We have until next summer to do it but unless I get on and make enquiries now as to where I get a replacement cord from I know we'll forget and set off for our annual trip in 2007 without having done anything about it. So, can you point me in the right direction for getting a replacement cord please as I don't know where to begin.

Thanks folks.

We bought ours from B&Q, I think, three years ago. They sell it by the metre. We got a metre or so extra, so we could loosen the cording off if we were carrying a lot under the cover, or to allow for knots if it broke anywhere.
