Filled up with petrol yesterday and was driving along an A road when I heard a metallic ding ding ding behind me as the (obviously not correctly fitted) petrol cap disappeared into a hedge somewhere. Despite 30 minutes of looking I couldn't find it. have bought a petrol station replacement but would like a decent chrome one. It's a 1975 4/4 and I can confirm a 1969 mini's petrol cap doesn't fit! Does anyone know of the correct type so I can order one? It was a non-locking chrome one!

I got my '76 4/4 from Melyvn as mine came with an alloy Volvo one! Not that expensive, about GBP15 if I recall correctly.

That is a pain! Aldermog can't lose the cap, it has one of these: Monza Cap The cap is hinged to the body....and there is a locking plug as well!

It has an external catch but it's not the one sold as 'Aston', which is much bigger externally and looks great when fitted but  I believe that this is 'ours'. Classic Alloy 3 in (76mm) Locking Filler Cap http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.a...p;pCode=015.374 This is the best Aston: Aston 3 1/2 in Alloy with Roller Catch (89mm) http://www.holden.co.uk/displayproduct.a...p;pCode=015.193Other smaller Astons are available........................
