Hi all,

need your help on this.

My fuel flap (the door) won't lock!! In fact its never locked.
I have a 318is, and the central locking doesn't work either, does the fuel flap work off this???

I wouldn't mind getting this sorted in case someone decides to nick all me fuel! :( Or worse!! 8O

Any ideas chaps.

Many thanks.

The fuel cap is controlled off the central locking, when the locking throws its throw 3 bars into the lip of the petrol cap locking the cover
