Changing Fuel Filler Cap

Nowheelcover · Jun 20, 2007

Hi everone, I am new to this forum and to Landrover ownership. I currently have a left hand drive 1.8 Freelander and recently purchased a new fuel filler cap but wish to use my old key/lock. Has anybody completed this procedure, and if so could you point me in the right direction in the art of swapping the lock over. I have done numerous searches, but to no avail.

TIA

Welcome

Have done this before when stuck at a petrol station, the key wouldnt come out of the cap.

It was tricky to do and spring mechanism inside was a pain, but its possible to change the barrels over. I think the key needs to be inside the lock to change them. You might have to drill the new one

Thanks for that info, but strangely enough, the new cap has no barrel fitted anyway, but is assembled.
