hi to all, i need some help and the local and main dealer can't help me!!!

i've just changed my fuel pressure regulator and where the pipe fits into the fuel rail there's a small grey plastic spacer/seal and an 'o' ring...

i've snapped the plastic seal and the 'o' ring looks well past it's use by date!!!

i've called my local landy garage and main dealer and they can't find the plastic seal/o ring and suggest it either comes with the fuel rail or fuel press reg, now i don't want to spend £80+ just to get £2 worth of plastic spacer and o ring...

does anyone know where i can buy the grey plastic seal/spacer and an o ring???

or a good bodge/get round it fix?? cos without them all she does is piddle petrol all over the gear box and won't even start...

many thanks, Welshy

I made an adaptor for a remote FPR....no idea if I used that o-ring or got a new one

edit...

nope, cant find it must have chucked it out

Can you just glue the spacer? Only there to stop the o ring being pushed out.
And the o ring, im sure most motor factors would have a box of o rings to rummage through.

Was just about to post that - as mine was knackered on the P38 this week.
