    When i bought my saxo it came with a metal aftermarket petrol cap.. However i dont want it as its not me, It takes the same key as my doors etc how would i get a new standard cap that will take the same key or would i have to have 2 keys

    I think you could get a blank petrol cap and just put the lock in from the one currently on the car or you could just get one with a lock already in and swap the lcoks.. im not 100% how it works i know mine has what looks like a aftermarket filler cap but if i remember rightly it may be a citroen extra ''/
    Someone with abit more knowledge will shed light soon i am sure

    +1 if you do a search mate there`s a guide on removing the lock & swapping it over.

    As above, got a cap from the scrapyard of the same colour for a fiver used a wheelbrace to take it off, as it didn't have the key. Just be careful not to bugger the clips taking the old locking center out.
