Jolly bodger

[bigstraight6]

One of our neighbours was I a right flap earlier having topped up the engine oil on his old heap Nissan and forgetting to put the filler cap back before driving it and losing it.

Being Sunday a replacement cap couldn’t be sourced and he needs to drive to Portsmouth this evening, I fashioned this bodge using a cork jar lid and a few cable ties, it works!

Brave.

Let's hope your neighbour doesn't start a sentence with "Since you".

The official Nissan fix is duck tape.

Ah, the N16. My old nemesis. 

Seems you can with a Nissan.

it's harder with a Lada.

 and you can't with a trabant.

It's cloudy with an Audi?   I'll get my coat.

This may have obliterated the youthful impression I try to maintain online.

Arse.

That's another engine bay rust protected

Hmm... the cork bung could get interesting when things start getting hot in there!

Update, the car made it from Plymouth to Portsmouth fine and lost no oil! There was a method in my madness as I figured that the cork bung would do because in the old days gaskets were made from cork.
