I put on a new gasket, and must have reused it near 30/40 times. I used a bit of silicon to hold it in place due to expansion. Sealed ok at 35psi+ .. Should be fine if yours is in gd condition. Less than a fiver new.

Lolz, this...
The amount of times I've reused D seals and steel inlet gaskets...
Worst case scenario if it falls out and you can't get it back in due to expansion - cut it, take a little chunk out and superglue back together... Works every time for me.
I do this..
MG ZR TD+ - gone and easily forgotten
Fabia vRS PD130 - New daily

Cheers everyone, I'll whip it off tomorrow and have a look, not sure what it's gonna look like as the car has over 200 k on the clock, it's probably well knackered
