[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Have you heard the joke about the idiot Signum driver?

Here goes.

Idiot Signum driver fills his car with petrol and then leaves the cap on the roof of the car before driving off.

I'm sure you can guess the rest.

Best place to buy a new cap, chaps? Presumably it doesn't need to be of the 'locking' variety because of the lockable flap.

Petrol seems to be staying in the tank.

Aren't they 'pretty much' universal? Vectra, Astra, Omega, Corsa etc?

[Viral_Jim]

A certain well know auction site will sell you one for under £5 with free delivery.

Such as this one

But as DBG says, they are shared over several models I think. Certainly the one in the picture looks the same as my MIG one. Maybe someone on here has a spare?

I would think so, Mr DBG.

About a fiver on Ebay. I'll just check if the one of our Corsa C fits.

Thanks...I must type faster. Your link is exactly the one I was looking at.

Surely the cap has a temporaray home on the filler cap like an Omega & Astra ........ 

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yes it does........

operator error then ........

I meant to say Mrs Opti filled the car with petrol and not me.

That's girlies and cars for you.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

As punishment I've 'borrowed' the cap from her Corsa until the new one arrives.

This is what I love about Vauxhall - the parts commonality.

Oh yeah  Watch out for the flying pig laptop 

[ronnyd]

Gave one of my spare ones to a work mate, (not the Black & Decker one) for his Astra. He was well chuffed.

Thats it blame everyone bar yourself

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

Only once have I had to replace a fuel filler on one of my cars, my old Corsa... Coincidentally it was after my mother borrowed it to run around in for a day. I made her go to the parts counter and explain what she'd done, looking sheepish.
