For some reason my petrol cap wont open! And no its not because I have pushed the lock button in. Does anyone know a way I can pry it open or even have a photo of their on the inside so I can work out a way to fix it?!?

While you are at it, make sure the drain isn't blocked. Inside the flap, there is a drain hole, suggest tip some water in it for a test, it should drain out underneath the car. The hose can get blocked or kinked.

Sometimes the problem is the spring behind the flap which pushes the flap open - it could be hinge is tight or the spring is bent or broken - either way, get someone to hold down the fuel cap button inside the car and then with a screwdriver or credit card or something similar, wedge in behind the flap and pry it open.

Haha all good, yeah I was talking about the door to the petrol cap that wouldnt pop. Played around with a knife for a while trying to pry it open while not scratching the paint but eventually it just worked when I pulled the lever. I checked it out and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help tho its good to know about that second release tag.

Happened to me awhile back, just pushed the side lining on the drivers side boot and appeared to push back into place..(dnt know how it did) but never had a problem since
