Anyone know where you can get a decent allen key one from?
As the one i have at the moment is burred, and the normal standard ones are easy to get off and dont want some chav coming along and putting sand in it.
cheers.

Has anyone ever had that happen to them? Or is it just a thing the makers of lockable caps make up to sell the buggers.

I wouldn't worry. They could out sand in my gearbox, they could steal all my panels if they really wanted to with just a phillips screw driver.
Who carries sand around with them anyway?

Nobody is gonna put stuff in your oil filler, most people brain dead enough to consider doing something like that probably wouldn't know where it was anyway. I believe Probolt make allen key ones, but Probolt anodised metal accessories are known for their cheese like properties so I'd rather not have a filler cap with a rounded out allen head to deal with.

The joys of dry sumps. My oil tank's hidden behind a fair panel. It can be removed with a screw driver but that's besides the point. Laughing

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest though.
