Disco 2 Fuel flap spring

asked at Rogers at Bedford today about a spring for my disco 2 fuel flap and apparently you have to buy the whole flap!

is that right? They’ve said similar things before and I’ve found the part I wanted but I can’t find a spring or even a part number

Take a look here:-
http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=820914&SPRACHE=EN
The only fuel flap door spring I can see is BPD700010
You might have to use the superseded part number: ALR8882

If it is being a PITA to pop out , you can "adjust" the flap hinge to allow it to pop, when the dash button is pressed.

Cheers

Thanks I saw that but because Craddocks rarely bother to include a photo, or in this case even a description, I wasn't sure if it was the right bit. Is that definitely the spring bit?

Mine currently has a modification to keep the flap shut I can only think Britpart have made - blue tack.

I've ordered it from Craddocks. I'm surprised Rogers said they could only get the whole flap assembly - it's not like them to try and upsell stuff like that

The problem is there is no spring and no clip. It opens fine, and stays closed via blue tac

I should think the clip has broke and they just took the spring off

It's a bit of a price increase!! Looking at that part number it's the whole fuel flap

I should have just ordered it, took the spring off, then sent it back because it didn't work!

still can..... another supplier

I've been reading though that some of the later Discos had a rubber cushion (FSU000010) instead of the spring?

Yeah apparently it springs the door open? Mines a 53 reg, not sure when they stopped using the springs

This pic is of mine off of a 53 plate .

The black rubber part in the ctr gives the spring effect by the looks of it.

Cheers

This is mine

Yep,

Yours is missing this piece.

I took it off to show it.
