Its probably a Defendoor. DEFENDOOR fuel filler recess cover for Land Rover Defender (http://www.defendoor.co.uk/Defender-fuel-filler-recess-cover.php)

Derek organised a bulk buy with aulro logo on them a few months ago

That would be it. Just order one from Mark (Defendoor.co.uk) they work a treat.

All the extra ones ordered were sold.

Time for another AULRO production run then?

[dmdigital]

Once I get back from holidays and settle back into the routine of work again I'll think about it. Nothing definite though.

To be honest, the above is why I didn't buy one last time around... I could see one lasting all of 15 minutes in the bush with branches rubbing on the sides?? am I wrong? how many have lost em since ordering?

[dullbird]

not lost ours off road there a pretty good fit...like a few left it at the service station...will be wiring the next one to the fuel cap

I used to lose my fuel caps until i put a chain on it, mabe you could put a chain/string on your defendoor as well.

My 3 inch wheelarch extensions make a good spot to rest my defendoor when i fill up, havent lost it yet.

With the Defendoor fitted we get 3 mpg better fuel usage re improved aerodynamics ;)

Actually found it again the following day going along the same farm track. Very vulnerable to being knocked off by sticks that are flipped up by a wheel or branches dragging along the side.

I haven't had any issues with it coming loose. Sticks and bushes have definitely hit it and I even managed about 200km of dirt track with it not properly attached. As for leaving it at a servo... I had to go back for the fuel cap anyway:mad:

[Bundalene]

Ours didn't come off on our last trip up to the Territory and we drove through a lot of scrub. I always put the fuel cap & Defendoor on the drivers seat when filling fuel so if I forget to put it back on I'll end up sitting on it.....

Lou, if the servo has your cover, why don't you send them a reply paid envelope and ask them to post it to you?:)

[Scallops]

I scratched my Puma pretty badly in scrub last time off road - the cover is still there - complete with scratches. It won't fall off - get one. ;)
