I went to fill up with V-Power tonight and the fuel flap was stuck locked. I tried everything from unlocking the car, pulling the battery, pulling the fuse and nothing released it so in the end I gave up and just drove home. I tried releasing it when I got home and nothing happened despite dead locking the car and then unlocking it again.
Has this happened to anyone else? I suspect a solenoid has failed, pity it didn't fail the other way. But how the hell do I now refill my car because I need a manual release which probably means taking all the interior trim off the O/S of the car boot area. Failing that I'll have to try and lever the flap open with something.
What a total PITA!
