Probably cheaper to buy in Europe, I had a quote for a Hymer trim part of £57 £50 was import and post costs £7 for the trim part. So the dealer is kindly waiting until they have a big order to spread the shipping costs.Broke the lugs of my Burstner diesel fuel cap ,just had a price for the replacement £82!!! And that’s without the barrel or keys!
Anyone know of a generic replacement that will fit?
Oh it will also take six weeks to arrive
Have contacted them ,thanks for the heads up ,hopefully hear from them tomorrow

There is no import duty on goods under £135
Don’t upset him he was all chuffed about getting to blame B for the cost!!
You’d think wouldn’t you but sadly no

One would have thought so our Hymer has the Fiat filler cap can’t imagine why a different filler cap would be used as the filler pipes are normally the same diameter
Not true on goods under £130 the supplier has to pay the duty and to do this they have to pay HMRC £1000 to register. That is why a lot of suppliers no longer ship to the UK.
I agree. The Burstner Lyseo Time motorhome looks to be built around and behind a pretty standard Fiat cab. Is the difference highlighted something to do with the key set for the motorhome? Other than this, I cannot think of a reason why the cap would be in any way non-standard Fiat.

Doesn't come with any lock or key.
You must attach a strong cord to the oily rag to ensure that you can retrieve it when it slips down the filler neck on our pot-holed roads. You can also supplement the oily rag with a Tesco sandwich bag and an elastic band to prevent moisture ingress into your diesel tank.Shove an oily rag into the hole.
What could possibly go wrong?

no,but most shipping companies have a minimum handling charge . DHL have 2 lots as anything coming out of Germany ,even to eu; gets held up due to anything over 1000€ requiring customs declaration. So even if every item on the whole truck bar one is under 135 the whole lot gets stuck for 2 days clearing german customs. & they make a charge to everyone.
or charge a minimum = to 1000€ duty

| Type and value of goods | Customs Duty |
|---|---|
| Non-excise goods worth £135 or less | No charge |
| Gifts and goods above £135 | The rate depends on the type of goods and where they came from - use the Trade Tariff service to check duty rates |
It’s like ,think of a number ,double it ,add £20 plus postage ,that’ll do
,I suppose a captive market is a wonderful thing for a company Subscribers do not see these advertisements
