While waiting endlessly in vain for someone to start manufacuring again a Defendoor fuel filler cover or similar, I noticed this product from Defender Upgrades perhaps a little pricey compared to the Defendoor but a nice little mod none the less.

Go for it Gilarion, and then let us all know how good value you think it is.

My first thought was the text had been spat out by google translate.
Then I read the bit about Yorkshire and realised it was penned by a semi-literate. Shocking.

I don't like to be too harsh but I agree with other comments, the price is prohibitive and the web blurb is well, interesting

The text seems like an identical story to what the Defendoor designers had.....

Don't get me wrong, but gone are the days of fuel theft by syphon.
if a tea leaf wants my fuel, they won't be bothered by a locking fuel cap or a door. they'll just stab the tank and flush it into a bucket. I actually like the uproar stuff normally too and defender upgrades who are quite a decent ooutfit too is way too overpriced for a cat flap. |

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why not just have a locking fuel cap, which can be picked up with some change from a tenner?

^^ Agree. Between those two new fuel cap covers and my look, I know which I prefer.

Looking at the photos when the “door” is open it appears to sit against the wheel arch.....at that price I would expect it to hover just above the wheel arch and close in total silence upon verbal command
