    How do you lose an oil cap?

    Can you not get temporary ones from Petrol Stations?

    Try Rambo or Dougie Jewel.

    Actually I'm a bit late with a reply considering everywhere is shut now.

    Has she not checked on the floor underneath where it was when she took it off? Or resting in somewhere like the exhaust manifold or on a belt or on the washer bottle? Somewhere that you might not see it instantly? I knocked mine off the top of the engine and it got caught in the injection manifold once....Took ages to find it - but it was sat there "mocking" me for being so obvious to find..... :oops:

    You can get temporary petrol caps but not oil caps :)
    According to 118 118 it's not illegal to follow people while blowing kisses, a past time known commonly as stalking. However they cannot answer adult questions such as "what is the average diameter of the inside of a woman's vagina"
