The rubber band that connects the fuel filler cap to the filler flap (to avoid it falling) has broken on my car. Does anyone know if a spare is available without having to buy an entire new filler cap. I've looked up the spares but nothing seems to be coming up for that.
If I do have to buy a spare I'd rather buy the Misfuelling replacement cap. http://www.misfuellingprevention.co.uk/

A new filler cap is around £15 according to the ETK, not that expensive, if you can describe the part I can have another look and see if it`s listed.

Its the small rubber (string) that connects the filler cap to the filler flap. Its connected in the centre top of the filler cap.

It comes with the rubber cord attached. Just bought one for my 550, dealer had it in stock.

Yeah I found the complete cap but odd that they don't sell a rubber piece that is so easy to break off. Anyway I won't buy another cap just for this. I'm sure to think of a wire to solve this.
