15 Defender enthusiasts take an interest, and contribute to a thread about filler caps for their vehicles. They share opinions and enthusiasm respectfully with one another. Those who don´t see the point, and cannot understand the money spent on a hobby, should follow the thread silently and amuse themselves, or ignore it completely. This is a wonderful forum, and is helping considerably to keep the enthusiasm for the Defender alive.  1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MT´s, Recaro CS´s, anorak, wellingtons

And being metal, even more likely. That said, nothing to worry about just keep in mind. No Guts, No Glory. 🇬🇧ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �¥ó �®ó �§ó �¿ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �·ó �¬ó �³ó �¿ðŸ�´ó �§ó �¢ó �³ó �£ó �´ó �¿ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡ªðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸â›½ï¸�🛢ï¸�âš™ï¸�🧰💪

Someone down under has the perfect solution for avoiding potential paint damage from a dangling fuel cap. Pickles wrote: Unless there is someone to hold the cap whilst filling up, it rests against the paintwork, which does not impress me at all. Solution?.....Wifey gets out as well at fill up time & holds the cap! Silly, but true. Pickles.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw

Hello "This is a wonderful forum, and is helping considerably to keep the enthusiasm for the Defender alive" Here here, I enjoy everything about this forum, in my short to some of you guys / girls Defender ownership I have picked up loads of advice. I love reading build thread and as you say some things I'm not that keen on but that's the beauty with these cars making them your own. I've saved a fortune doing many things on my car myself rather than paying for stuff to be fitted, I've learnt, swore, spilt blood but the sense of achievement is great and it means my Landy 'Fund' has pennies in I can treat him to some nice toys evey now and again. The Cap maybe here tomorrow... I'm actually excited about seeing a filler cap !! I was looking at a tether from another make of car to fit to it, however I also think they look a bit naff and as Custom90 points out it could dangle down.... not good for the paint... So I do like Pickles suggestion about the wife holding it (always good...) however I normally end up filling up on my own.. Maybe I need a little plinth I take out, rest in on the petrol pump and place the cap on this...

smb Member Since: 15 Jan 2013 Location: Cheshire Posts: 1232	You could of course ask Croytec or Optimill, etc to design a little sort of fold-out bracket to hold it or rest it on. Something like those fold down foot rests you can get to go behind the doors up the side of the body. Sorry, can't think of the name of them or who sells them. There is another company on the scene who are making some machined bits called "Gore" I think.

simon67 Member Since: 18 Jun 2015 Location: west sussex Posts: 569	I cannot believe I am going to buy an Optimill However looked at the plastic OEM version and its £25 - so an extra £40 isn't too bad Still cannot get over the Overfinch version
