The cap would need to be either lockable or tethered to the bodywork.

As for an unleaded restrictor, there's no specific mention of it in the current IVA book but I have heard of people (on the internet) failing the IVA because there was no restrictor fitted. My restrictor cost a fiver; I thought this was a small price to pay to make sure.

No, Adrian, I couldn't see it either. For the sake of the fiver it cost me, I thought I'd avoid the trouble in the first place. Knowing my luck the IVA will have changed when I get to that point...

Is leaded fuel even available? If you can't buy it, don't see the need for a restrictor.
