Hi Chaps,
another problem, only a little one, but one that is getting right on my nerves.
Could anyone with a similar motor send me a picture of the inside of the fuel flap?
Sounds soft i know, but i must be missing a spring as when i pull the flap release inside the car, nothing happens, if i wedge the lever up i can open it, but must be missing a spring so could do with an idea where it's missing from exactly.
thanks fellas
steve

i bet !you'd need longest arms to reach both the flap and lever at the same time,!
would drive me nuts.

lol, believe it or not i did try that as well, it can be done, but you have to leave the door wide open, lift the lever, then put your right foot in to hold while you stretch around to flick the flap, woman behind me at asda was wetting herself laughing, but it worked!
only thing that stumped me is where the hell did the spring piece go?
