Right Just been to fill up with petrol and the Bloody Petrol Cap will not open so had to come home !!
any ideas how i can get it open apart from jamming sooething in their and break it open !!

Have you tried pushing it in further, then trya nd release again... Happened to me at one point!

[interloper393]

check the cable is attached on the pull thingy inside the car, then maybe get someone to add some pressure on the petrol cap while you pull the lever
 soak it in wd40 once its opened

[Teighto]

Ok will give both a try

[interloper393]

also if you cant get it open, tape around the cap and wing hole to protect the paint and use a thin bendy knife and with a bit of fiddlin you can jimmy it open..

Or if you remove the trim from the boot behind the filler cap you can reach the catch and pull it open from behind.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but is it your first time filling it up?

If so, make sure you pull the release lever out before pressing it down. When I got my FD it took me a good 20 minutes to figure it out.

If it\'s not your first time - my apologies.........I\'m outta here!!!!

Jam something in to pull it out a little then with it still jammed in there pull the release, worked for me the 1st time it happend, i used my keys.
Then when i had the time i adjusted it

Heh heh heh, I know EXACTLY what you mean! I had the exact same thing assuming it was the same as Toyotas

Phew  After much pushing and prizing !!  i managed to get it open i then gave it a bit of a grease as it looked like it was sticking !!

Now it all works i can now fill up with petrol !
