The rubber ring on the oil cap down in to the undertray. Is the car driveable with it off ? Cap still went on tight and airtight.

it'll be drivable but you may get some oil leaking out of it when the engine is up to temp. could make a mess bascially, best to get the rubber ring replaced as soon as you can

Poop only yellow ones on ebay unless you want a £30 bling item.

or you could buy the yellow one, take the ring off and put it on your non yellow one and you're off and running!

What the heck does someone who cares for their vehicle so as to ensure its value is retained and they dont drive a shed stand for anyway?

The original one is the only good sealing one, everyone that has had a bling alloy one has had leaks or lost it.
But there seems to be a black version of the yellow one, it was sold by Rover, but now I wouldn't know...
