I tend to be rather old skool in turning the tap off when I stop anyways - my 400/4's tap didnt have any of this high tech - high jinks... :)

Mr Silver has come back to say the diaphragm and o-ring I need to rebuild it is only avalaible as a complete unit as the petrol tap.... :shock:

Am waiting to hear back if this is even still avaliable & get a price - anyone got a spare tap hanging around??
