Just wondering if anyone had the problem of rust behind the petrol filler cap on the inside skin. It seems to have spread onto that bar thing what runs down where you take the cover off for access to the lights. Am i right in thinking that the petrol filler neck effort needs replacing?

Cheers

Fair enough.
I always thought rust near the petrol cap was a fail.
Know otherwise now

it is a fail if its sharp edges would hurt someone but this is not a prescribed area
