MG MGF Technical - Oil Dip stick Bracket

Hi there..
Just wondering if anyone knows the part number for the bracket that holds the "Oil filler cap/dip-stick" thingy in the engine compartment.
Mine has broken twice and I need to get it replaced..

Has anyone else had this problem?

cheers

When I bought my 'F three years ago the dipstick bracket was split. I MIG-welded it and it has been OK since.

My dipstick tube broke at the bracket. I found out about it when I poured a litre of oil down the tube and it ended up all over my driveway :(

the bracket, you mentioned, broke on my F after going round the Nurburing. Mike Satur fixed it with some cable ties - a little mod that actually provides support to an unbroken bracket too and would probably prevent it breaking in the first place.

Thanks a million.. Have it sorted now..
Looks like the filler just sits down on the pipe without any sort of seal?

Anyway, no leak, no problem.

Thanks again.
