A new fuel pump was fitted recently and since then petrol fumes have become a problem inside the car. It would seem that the seal between the pump and the tank has perished. I've looked on real oem and I think the part that I need is : 16111744369 Can anyone confirm or otherwise? With several long journeys planned over the holidays, I'd like to get this sorted out asap.

Also worth checking the breather pipe at it's attachment to the top of the tank,I have found that the tank end of the pipe perishes and causes this kind of problem.Cure is usually simple and free,slice the perished bit off and re-fit!

Cheers, thanks for that. Tried to get through to Cotswold, but the parts dept. weren't answering phones today. Got one from Arden in Maidstone though so it should be here tomorrow.
