In this video we change the standard plastic fuel petrol gas filler flap for the latest alloy fuel flap from PLUMB. We are considering stocking these - let us know your thoughts.

Love the airtag hiding place. Great idea, thank you. I assume its outside to stop the thief hearing any sounds the tag may give out. Genius.

Just why? Might as well just remove the original door and fit a locking fuel cap like we used to do in the early 1970’s. Could even be a chrome one for added bling [yuk!]

I think that is a waste of time and money. All of the accessories I've fitted have a good use, bar one and that's your blue anodised filler cap cover, which I just like, but I don't feel the need to show it off.

Interesting but a waste of money, it doesn't add anything. However, does your fuel flap lock? My dealer says that the locking fuel flap is only fitted on the 400e. To be honest, I'm not impressed having to buy an old fashioned key locking fuel cap.

Well I have to concur that the fuel filler cap is garbage, but I also thought the new Defender has a built in tracker. Certainly I get regular false alarm calls from the Land Rover security people (apparently there’s a well known bug that causes false alarms)

Looked better before, especially as Stig is white and the filler flap is black - bit of a colour clash. The "Plumb" logo is a bit annoying as well - will they pay you for advertising? I'm not sure I see the point of the product. It lets you see the filler cap, but unless you have a really flashy one like Simon does, then it's not that interesting to look at, surely? I think if I had a Defender, I wouldn't let Plumb products anywhere near it. They look well-made, but aesthetically they're rather jarring and seem like a solution looking for a problem. What next? See-through wheels so you can see inside your tyres, perhaps?

Pretty useless really and makes the vehicle look worse - much better to use the original and hide the Air Tag behind it - great idea that. I also use an Air Tag in my vehicle; but I hide it inside the vehicle in a place that is not blocked by metal. Air Tag batteries last about a year, so you don't need to change batteries very often.
