This is actually a repeated post from the Miffy thread in M&M section, but got no response to that so trying here;
Well. Saturday morning was interesting... Came out to the Defender to find the fuel cap missing. Odd. Jump in, Ign on... Oh for goodness sake. Some delightful folk had half inched about 1/3rd of a tank of diesel (give or take)... Son of a butcher dogs wife... Figure a hose and a jerry can in the dead of night. At least they could of put the cap back. Probably still in some dude's hoodie pocket. Have to say it is the first time that I have been eternally grateful for a dealer being open on a Saturday morning and having stock. An expensive start to a great weekend. Thank you Conwy Land Rover. Literally saved my weekend and made my wife's year... Now the new fuel cap has a tether on it, being from a Puma era Defender. Can anyone post a picture of where the tether is usually positioned please?! Like the tether, good idea.

Don't ask...
The total cost was £75 all in for the fuel cap and expansion cap... |

Scissor it off. It will scratch your paint and cause bubbling of the drilled area.

My puma had a teathered one, I hated it! Also you can't then use the cap to jam the pump handle open for hands free filling

Genuine cap which replaced my original 2008 Puma pre-tether cap.
Eric Click image to enlarge 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 |
