If you do get one like this check it fits, plenty of rust protection and stone chip paint as it takes a hammering under the wheel arch

Thank you. The one that’s on there was supplied as “for cabby” but it’s a tin top version, so was a right pain and I am not making that mistake again. It also wasn’t protected against weather and stones, and I won’t be making that mistake again either. It had a “rusty fuel filler” advisory in Oct , and started leaking from high up when filling at a garage last week. Thanks for your help.

There's a stainless one. Not cheap:

Don't get driving it in the rain as the last thing you want is water in the fuel system… get it changed as soon as you can.

1/2 way down the page in my project thread is what I did to fit my new filler neck.

That’s brilliant thank you. I had a closer look yesterday, there are 2 definite holes at the top. I can refuel it with a can and funnel past the holes, but I take your point re: water. I imagine there are rust particles dropping into fuel too. Cheers for all your advice and help. Andy

Cheers the_whip, haven't got the budget for a stainless one.sadly.

Take the old one to somewhere that makes stainless exhausts to copy it. 304 stainless@ Worcester etc.
