I'm sure many have found their own solution to broken fuel cap retainer straps but as there appears to be a dirth of said aftermarket items for diesels at the moment I've come up with my own which others may find helpfull. I bought these on Amazon and secured one end to the door flap with a mini tywrap, and drilled a smaal hole in the flange on the cap and fitted the spiral cord with a small split ring.
Fairly obvious, takes 10mins max, and should outlive the car! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Last edited by wynnj; Nov 24th, 2022 at 19:02. |

I have found old oil filter rubber seals a useful alternative

I found a real life actual practical use for my spoiler, and I sit the fuel cap in that gap while filling up to make sure it doesn't roll away
