A question for Rick really......my filler cap fell into about 4 pieces tonight when i went to fill up.....not had the car for 2 months due to work being carried out , ever heard of this happeninng before?...and apart from getting new cap (do i need to get Aston one or will Sainsbury's one do?)...any other owners had this problem?

It's a problem with the Aston Filler cap, happened to me a few times, it's easy to put back together just pisses you off when other people in the garage fill up and go and your still there fiddling with the dam thing!!!

If car is still under warranty , can get new filler cap altogether.
