V8 Vantage 2009 Fuel Cap
Discussion
OK, it seems I was a little rough with it while refuelling.
I had placed the fuel cap in the hole under the flap while I put the fuel in. It's a tight fit and the white plastic bit on the end of the fuel cap is slightly tapered.
Once I had finished refuelling, I grabbed the fuel cap and pulled it. The white innards of the cap (white end spigot and spring) then fell apart onto the forecourt.
I picked up all the bits plus a few other bits lying in the immediate vicinity and kind of reassembled it.
I'm now concerned I may not have all the bits and am trying to find an exploded diagram to check I've built it right.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

You appear to have asked a question Callum, that nobody can answer.
That probably entitles you to a Brownie point.
I do not have a copy, but in the past there have been topics here about PDF workshop manuals.
I think they contain exploded parts diagrams, which is what you want to see.
Perhaps someone can send you a copy.
It was bad luck breaking the component. I noticed that my fuel cap does seem to be a very tight fit in the holder, although it does hold the cap whilst filling, but only just.

I guess I must have reassembled it correctly as I've now done about 400 miles since the incident and all appears well. No smell of fuel, no leaks. No vacuum either!
I will eventually get round to spending £70 and a day of my life downloading all the technical manuals. Is there nowhere I can get a DVD?
