leaking fuel filler pipe

has anyone on here ever had a fuel filler pipe replaced ? Apparently its aluminium and mine has rotted and when I fill up, it pours out . . .

If DIY, was it fairly straight forward, if garage, what sort of price ?

Had my wheel arch liners off last week to clean out what looked like 10yrs of build up. The fuel pipe was fully visible with the liner off although I wasn’t specifically looking at it but I do know that the connection to the tank is just a section of hose and a couple of jubilee clips which were a little tricky to get at. Mine was leaking from around there Corrado VR6 Mystic Blue - Gone

This will give you an idea of the job. The liner fixings can be tricky, the fixing between liner and rear bumper had seized on both sides and had to be cut off and clips replaced as they had rusted through. By the looks of it the fuel pipe looks easy enough to replace with just the liner being the tricky bit.

thank you for that, that was a great help.
My local trusted 4 x 4 specialist said the aluminium pipe had corroded and that is why diesel p***es out when fuelling, also saying that there was a 3 month waiting list from land rover for the part, seems odd as I came home and ordered the part from Rimmer after double checking with them that they could definitely get the part lr000989.

So its ordered and on its way, I am not capable of fitting it, so its either my mobile mechanic or a local garage in next village, NOT my 4 x 4 people as they do not like to fit parts customers get . . .their loss I say Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
