Can anyone give me some contacts. I've got a pin hole leak in my petrol tank, so need to get it replaced. A new one's gonna sting me. Hopefully theres a breaker out there with one going cheap. I've gotta 99T 735i auto.

If it is a steel tank that has cracked, you need to replace the tank breather carbon canister (mounted in rear wheel arch), otherwise the same will happen to the new tank.
The problem is caused by vacuum in the tank due to a blockage.
