Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

On mine, there is kind of a locating ring that fell out and was still within that compartment, It simply clicked in over the pin. Failing that, try cleaning and WD40?

I had the opposite happen yesterday. Pulled up at the petrol pump and the flap was still 'locked'. Big queue behind me so couldn't look in the manual. Ended up locking,unlocking a few times and the flap was fine :roll: Could it have been the cold weather :?:

It's usually the guide bush (item 3) for the locking rod which becomes dislodged.

Snap Roadrunnner. Had to drive up from the South of Ireland yesterday, temps were around -5 in the midlands. Pulled up to petrol station, big Q and low and behold the bloody lid wouldn't open. Thought I'd be cute, go in a fill up a couple of bottles of boiling water, pour it over the area and hope, and nada, zip! :dont know: Decided to drive on a bit in hope, again when the light went on and I knew I wasn't going to make home so I made a couple of calls. Thank fook for the manual release inside the door, otherwise I was goosed. :wink: Baz.

These flap motors are known to fail and they are really difficult to change. Held in by torx screws and no room at all to get a tool in. Nasty job, I reckon if I had to do another I will take the wing off to do it, bet I would get it done loads quicker! For the record if ever they jam shut there is a pull cord, just above the upper door hinge.
