I've just discovered the locking mechanism on my fuel filler flap has stopped working. The bolt that goes through the flap doesn't move anymore. Is this easy to repair? It's a V70.

Have you tried some lubrication on it? Mine did that once and it was just seized.

Thanks for the suggestion. Feel a bit stupid now. I've read there is a time delay on the lock adn I'ev checked now and it's locked!

2 mins after locking the deadlocks fire, 10 mins after fuel cap locks. I'm sure I posted this a few days ago. At least its sorted, really bothered me until I worked out it was on a timer lol
