Factory/Dealer (although when I lost mine they would only sell you the cap and the filler neck fro £140 so I now have an interesting 'pot'), or

I am sure what you need is Filler Cap H (the first item 2 on the PDF list) as I've just measured my spare neck and it all checks out.

Just noticed Merlin Motorsport have them as well

Hi Justin

Are you saying that "H" is a direct replacement?

From everything I can measure - yep, that's the one.

These seem to be the UK manufacturers

Thanks all.

I have one on the way from Noble.

I emailed them on Sunday evening, got a call at 8.45 this morning.

£61.05 inc the vat.

That is what I call service.

Me too! Doubly bad by going home, opening it and then going back to the same petrol station 10 minutes later...

Same thing happened to Jenson at Imola.

Seriously though, its another good reason not to wait until the last few litres before topping up. You can at least drive off somewhere less conspicuous to sort the problem!
