Sorry I can't answer your question madone but I seem to remember 8valvesgood saying something about how to protect the filler neck. PM him as it sounds like he's had a similar experience.  :)

I managed to get a stainless one, ex Autocavan. Not sure that you can get them anymore but have a chat with Stuart at Eurocarparts, I'm sure he'll do you a standard replacement for around ?30

I'm sure www.awesomegti.com do them, I can't check at the mo because they're just coming to the end of building their new site? Give em call and see.? About ?55.

Found this link about how to fit new filler necks if anybody's interested.

OUCH!! Surely a decent fuel filter would have prevented most of this? or do the older models not have them?

Oooops, maybe my ?30 price tag was a little on the low side. Got my stainless one for ?30 second hand, looks like I got a bargain.
