Copey Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 i cant get the key out of mine until i lock it back in place, so no, dont have this problem at all, i have once gotten in the car and gone "wer the fook are my keys...oh yeah, on the boot spoiler in the petrol cap" so its a good job the key does stay in, otherwise i woulda lost at least one
geoffersmasher Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 winds me up i had a locking one but lost that because it didnt lock properly edit ive just one number four on ebay for £10
V8ian Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Drill a 3mm hole in the internals of the cap, and pop rivet a 200mm length of thin chain or Stainless fishing trace to it, Remove the filler neck from the car, and drill a similsr 3mm hole in its top and pop rivet the chain to the inside of the neck, now re assemble the the neck in the car , and If you have done it correctly the cap is secured to the neck, Idealy make the retaining method just the right length so it habgs against the bumper so it will not damage the paint.
