Patricia Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Three years ago my husband left the cap by the filling tap on a site in France. We went back minutes later but it had gone. Not surprised really as we ordered a replacement from Marquis and it cost £31! Since then it has been chained to the van. I have since found it better to contact Auto-Trail direct (as you can see I have the same model as you) as they supply parts much quicker than any dealer.

Norma Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Guess I'm being thick. Is the same key for all the caps? We had one that was broken but I thought the new one had a different lock, therefore the original key didn't work. So why pick up a left one?

Patricia Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I don't know the answer to that one as I never lock it - I have enough trouble getting it undone anyway. But, presumably the lock on the one taken was open anyway. I still think £31 was extortionate - it was only the cap after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Have you tried an Autotrail dealer or caravan shop? They have all types of water caps and might have one that fits. I can't imagine an Autotrail cap is any different in size than another make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 You could try phoning the shop on (England) 01925 764802. Even though they sell different van types to mine, they have been very helpful at obtaining things for me.... with postage added it might just STILL be cheaper for you.

hygra Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Try CAK they have a website www.caktanks.com also an online catalogue there are some water filler caps listed kind regards Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Johns Cross Motorhome and Camping Centre are selling Fiamma water filler cap for £1196 + £3.20 p&p on Ebay. I think they may all be a standard size. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo3090 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Pat, I presume you've missed out a decimal point! :-D £1196 for a filler cap is a bit much, it's only slightly cheaper than a gallon of diesel! >:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Well spotted! £11.96 sounds better, doesn't it? Certainly better than the amount I paid. I'm sure they will advise if it's the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little-jack Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think the Fiamma water cap is a different design to standard, as the ones I have sen come complete with a replacement filler backplate which has to be fitted first. My local dealer were able to supply a standard filler cao for about £9, plus £3. 50 for a new lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CAB Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 When I lost a water filler cap for my AutoTrail Cheyenne a couple of years ago CAK supplied one at less than 25% of the price quoted to me by AutoTrail. It's probably a standard filler cap - give CAK a call (I was fortunate as CAK is only a few miles from where I live - but I have always found them helpful). Give them a call.
