Leak is just a weep from one seam of one float. Have spoken with Burlen and now have refurb kits but despite being listed, floats are no longer available. Am going to try super glue on the seam now the float is free of petrol. Petrol resistant, not sure, guess I'll find out.

Thanks for the help. Nearly a week and there is still fuel weeping out of the float.

Great thanks. Can hear liquid in the float but perhaps it's just a faulty valve and I'm concluding it's the float because that's what was suggested to me. Either way too risky to use the car with the amount of petrol that leaks as soon as I stop.

Thanks to the good people at the Sunshine rally. Leaking petrol does appear to be due to a float full of petrol. Had a look on spares sites but it seems they are no longer available. Any ideas or do I just need to find a used but floaty float?

Thanks Ben. I guess the welds have broken. Hopefully I'll be able to make a repair. Just wanted to know if it was possible to repair or if this was likely to mean a replacement column before I started to take it off the car.

Thanks Pete, that's what I thought it looked like but wanted to be sure before removing the column to make a repair.

Help please. Noticed that the column switches rotate on the column. The top part of the steering column outer (to which the column switches are fitted) is loose and separate from the lower part which is held in place by the upper clamp under the dash. The diagram in the manual seems to show the outer column as one part. Is my column outer broken or is there a joint in the outer column that has come apart?
