So can I run it without the clip? The old one obviously wasn't doing much in 3 peices, and other than possibly reducing noise I can't see what the clip actually does as the pads are retained by the bracket anyway. Or can the clip be bought separately anywhere? I have googled but not found anything. Or does anyone have a spare lying around?

If it's supposed to be a piece of sprung steel that fits under the retaining pins and against the outer pad edge......you can run without it.
It's just an anti chatter plate, you'll hear more noise from the brake than usual......I've never noticed the difference personally.
If you're talking about an E clip/circlip or R clip/split pin.....or pad retaining pin then no you can't run without it
