Okay so i got back from 2 weeks in florida today and jumped in the Sport
to cheer myself up . Noticed was low on fuel so went to fill up ( by the way
how cheap is fuel in the U.S. !!!! ) only to find I'd developed a gusher .
"Fiddlesticks" I said to myself . Had a look and found the filler neck was knacked . Anyone done this before and is it an easy job to do ?
Fuel filler neck advice needed

As long as the bracket under the rear wheel arch doesn't come off in your hands due to rust as well.ian332isport wrote:Yeah, quite common on E30's.
