Guys.
my fuel flap has given up the ghost.
it worked ok, then would not return, so had to pursued it back into place with a screwdriver a couple of times, and now it will not even release.
Seems not amount of silicone spray will do the trick.
I think it's been an issue in the past as there is some evidence of old screwdriver damage to the plastic locking tab.
The things so stiff I can't even release it with the emergency pull cord.
I don't think its a fuse as the boot release works fine.
I planned to follow this "how to guide" to take a look at the solenoid but I'm stuck on the first step!

I can't remove the covered panel from behind the rear arm rest and I'm frightened that if I pull too hard I might even break it.
any one have any tips please?
Thanks all.
