Could be the filler pipe Andy, with there usually not being the arch liner there to protect it, it gets battered with all the ***** of the day. Easy to remove and check, the there bolts around the filler pipe behind the flap then with pliers/mole grips squeeze the clip that secures it to the rubber part and pull it out.

You can fit the liner from any bubble 400, or an MB6 Civic, or an early zs, I'm not sure when exactly it was deleted on the zs.
