i dont know if i am dreaming but i filled up today and the little round hole the pump nozzle goes in at the bottom of the filler neck i could have sworn there was a little metal cover inside but today it was just a hole and no cover that the pump pushes out of the way

anyone else have this little cover ?

There is a little spring-loaded flap in the neck. When I pour Redex in I open the flap with the handle of a wooden spoon otherwise half the Redex runs down the side of the car.

I had a look at my 68 plate Jazz EX this morning. I shone a torch into the filler hole and could not see any flap. I also put the handle of a wooden spoon about 150mm into the neck and did not feel any flap. I could not explore any further as the filler pipe seems to take a bend about 150mm in

thanks guys, it must be be thinking back to my mk2 jazz or something, just glad its normal not to have a flap like on your 68 plate that has fallen off into the tank or something, probably cost cutting as it is on your mk1

cheers
