Surely buttons are pushed, not pulled ;)

Sorry i didn't see you post 'til now (1.20am)

This once happened to me (2015 SD) - flap wouldn't open.

Root cause on my incident: - there is a rubber 'bellows' around the lock 'pin' on the fuel flap.
The pin had perforated through the wall of the bellows ( xxxx knows how the bellows had come out of place!) causing the flap to stick down.

I had pulled up the flap by 'gentle force' ( without resorting to a screwdriver !) - no damage caused ( otherwise it would have been a warranty fix !!!)

I spotted the issue, reseated the bellows - no further problem..,

Why is it not possible to ask a reasonable question without someone coming up with a flippant response? I assume you only work part time, ie, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Hopefully you can work that out?

BTW, may I refer you to page 244 of the owners manual?

Thanks
