Hi all

The rubber tether restraining the fuel tank cap of my L322 recently broke. I contacted various Land Rover parts suppliers, but none were able to supply the tether separately. It was only sold in combination with a new filler cap, costing more than 50 Euros.

Browsing on the internet I discovered the tethers were identical to the ones used at BMW. Then I turned to AliExpress and ordered 2 for $1.46 each. They just arrived and I can confirm they are identical to the Land Rover ones.

Interested? Look on AliExpress for "Fuel Tank Cap Cable Wire Car Replacing Replacement 16117193372 for BMW E81/E87/E88/E46/E90/E91"

my RR has a BMW fuel filler cap as it was much cheaper...

Is this the same on eBay?
