<p>GrahamW: </p> <hr /> <div>The internals of the Elise S1 petrol cap are available from Rock Auto in the USA. The part number that you need to order is 10501. This is from Jeep - you must be able to get it from a UK dealer, but no one has looked into yet.<br /> <br /> https://www.rockauto.com/applet3.html<br /> <br /> Delivery is about 1 week.<br /> <br /> '''Some info on how to swap the unit over - info taken from Basil on the BCBBS'''<br /> <br /> &quot;Best way I found was to prise the metal ring out, then vandalise all the white placcy bits which came out pretty easily. All you're left with then is the black placcy part. I ran a small screwdriver round the edge, then got hold of it with some pliers and tried to 'roll' it up. A bit of this and it popped out.<br /> <br /> Fitting the new one I used 2 minute epoxy (time's money!) Left overnight it now works as it says it should in the manual - result.<br /> <br /> Couple of other points, prolly stating the bleedin obvious but;<br /> Don't forget to switch the keys over on yer keyring!<br /> Don't be tempted to 'try' it in situ before fixing. It does fit and is a bugger to get out if you're daft enough to 'try' it first.<br /> Of course I didn't do that! ;&gt;)&quot;</div>
