problem water filler cap

[in h]

If the water filler is the usual sort, which has three dents round the keyhole, when it's locked it spins freely, so if it's tight, it's not locked.
It is possible to put it on askew, which makes it hard to remove. Just use lots of force.

I have had trouble with mine for a long time and I got some lock graphite put a tiny bit on a few times and it seems to have sorted it for now.

Annie but what about your water filler cap?Have you fixed that too?

Yes I’m now careful where I put my graphite now

Compared to what goes under clean water taps on aires i'm not going to worry about using the wrong lubrication on my fill side

Good for lubrication but gritty and slightly rough in use.

Didn't know they had bayonet fittings mine have always had screw on and lock

I'd never seen a threaded one and after looking a 2 ebay list pages still haven't but wondered what they had when he mentioned his daughter got a pair of mole grips on it. Only ones I've come across are similar to this like fitting a light bulb

Just looked at mine 3 pin bayonet my mistake push in and turn anti clockwise to remove/open but mine was tight to get off as well at least it came off though
