SO yeah you can probably guess the story here - I just went to fuel up my car, and found I was lacking the filler cap - I must've left it on the roof last time I filled up and drove away  :embarassed:

So I need to try to get one ASAP, I drove around for the last week or so without one, but now I know I don't have one it scares me! I wondered why i could smell fule and it seemed to be going down fast as well!

So anyone know where I can order on on-line? ideally to be shipped to today to arrive tomorrow?

It's a P reg Gti incase it makes a differnence!

Actually I just thought - I'm probably over reacting and can just go to breakers yard tomorrow and get one?

Are there any really nasty potential inplications to me driving my car in the mean time though?
