    Just noticed on her profile page, she hasn't been here since the 6th Jan ! Sent her a penta-key FOC (one of the early trial keys that ended up cluttering my shop so thought we'd put it to good use) in the middle of November ! Hope she got sorted !

    Oh well, they come, they go

    That is why I tagged the user name, to send a notice. (If I am not set on Ignore. :) )

    As I understand it, any contributor to a thread gets a notice anyway, in the form of a little red box similar to the 'tag' box, as Jo would in this thread without being tagged. She's obviously got to log into CCS to get either notice though

    I have the same newer Optimus 111b and I had the same problem puzzling over how to open the filler cap to inspect the SRV. I could not find an appropriate tool and was wary that if I did get it open that I might not be able to close it keeping the safety features intact. My solution was to order a new,6-sided filler cap from Basecamp. I am very new to all this and still need to resolve some issues on my Optimus before it is up and running.:D/

    Well, your in the right place then :thumbup: tools are available for both SRV cap screws. The hex that you have, is a standard 3mm Allen key and penta keys are available at the Fettlebox
