After receiving several Tech line calls about non-locking fuel caps on the New F-TYPE model we did a bit of investigation. All information we got was as firm as oatmeal so beware. Fact--the 3 cars we looked at do not lock. Fact-- the owners manual says they do. Fact---evidently in all other world markets the manual says they do and they DO! Fact--the manual clearly states there may be changes that are not documented--that is true and fair! Fact--when you try to discover the reason the answers are varied and at the end of the day they do not actually matter as the cap nor door lock. So members that called were worried about someone that does not have an F-TYPE resenting the fact that you do-----that is real and a concern. So JCNA did a bit of investigating and found that a locking fuel cap is indeed available for the F-TYPE up to VIN #K15252. Not sure what happens at the VIN break but prior to that (up to K15251)can be solved by the good folks at Coventry West (800-331-2193) ex117. They are ready to sell you a locking fuel cap for your F-TYPE at retail of $29.95. The part number you need to ask for is C2D33850/LOCK. Hope this help those JCNA members with this concern. NOTE--for cars after vin K15251 there is evidently some fix in the works but at this time the information is not validated and therefore will not be addressed. Enjoy your F-TYPE and give CW a call!
