Anyway, the old, broken o-ring was still in there (it was in one piece, save the part I'd already taken out). After removing this old ring and reassembling, the car started!
Thanks a million to you all, I'm genuinely thrilled that my car works again!

Dont forget to tell your mechanic - he may come across another late petrol 75/ZT with the same problem.
