My Rapport has the water filler under the bonnet and the cap is missing. Has anyone got any idea what the cap looks like, and can either send me a photo or give me an idea where to get hold of one please?

Looking at the neck, it seems as though this will fit:

Ah, but it's got one of those already, well a similar one anyway. It leaks into the headlamp when I'm going downhill. There are a lot of hills here!

Actually, the problem is that it's a bit smaller than a fuel filler neck, so the universal cap doesn't really fit. The OD is just under 2" which is why I thought the oil tank cap might just fit. Like you say though, it's pricey, so I don't want to buy one and find out it doesn't.

The problem I've got is that I've never seen the proper thing, so I don't know.

Cheers,
Richard.

You're overfilling it! Whistle1

Poly bag and an elastic band should do it content

Just as a matter of interest, I emailed Autosleepers through the parts request function on their website. Fast reply, reproduced in full:

"Dear Mr Stubbs
                I am sorry but that part is no longer available.
Regards
Alan Osborne
Sundry Part

"

Not very helpful really, but what did I expect I suppose. Interesting that Mr Osborne considers himself to be a 'sundry part' though.
