Brilliant replacement.
« on: 27 November 2020, 13:15:29 »
I know one or two on here have Range Rovers & Jags & this appears a common but annoying problem with them, the fuel filler cap strap breaks so it is possible to leave/ lose the cap . Mine was broken when I purchased the RRS last year  Jaguar/LR will only supply a new cap complete with strap which was around £23 when I enquired . On the RRS forum I read a post yesterday that Powerful UK have manufactured a strap for various Jags& Land Rovers for £4.88 Inc vat, I ordered one which arrived today there are instructions on YouTube on how to fit it correctly , so all fitted in a matter of minutes 👍

Yes....the 'cap strap' has been broken on my Tata for yonks.

 I have left the cap on top of the car more than once and driven away. Luckily, I remembered before I had gone too far.  :-[

Back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth I seem to recall cars driving around with a piece of rag stuffed into the appropriate orifice.  :)

Just, Linky needed Rangie.  Mine bust a few months ago.


Opti, you know the cap is designed to clip on the raised bit of the hinge when filling, rather than dangle and bang on the bodywork ;).  This still works even with no strap.

Not computer savvy I'm afraid , I simply googled Powerful UK.com and searched for fuel filler cap replacement rubber strap for L320 Range Rover Sport. I am pretty certain that all Range Rovers & Jags are the same but their is a long list of models to ensure you obtain the right one, if you get one watch the video on YouTube re fitting I did mine in a couple of minutes. Any problems their email is   Contact@powerfuluk.com

A JLR product with bits falling off... Whatever next ::)

£23 for the complete assembly isn't unreasonable  ;)

Mine was designed so that it slots into the filler door spring whilst the staff pour the petrol in... Which is nice 8)

Opti's Indian is pretty much the same, aside from a rubber strap to ensure it can't go walkies

This is a good design.  :)

Open the flap, push your nozzle in and fill her up!  :y

It's not good, it's bloody brilliant.

The Saab has the slot to store the cap like the Vx, but the flange of the pump knocks it off, so I just leave it dangling by it's strap.  ;D
