The central locking system on my wife's car is playing up, she has been using the keys!. But the fuel flap is closed ie locked!. Is there anyway to unlock it, short of a crow bar - to fill up as she needs petrol.! :cry: WOMEN!!! :)

Gareth, you can access the lock through the boot, through the interior panel in the boot, there's a small cutout and you will be able to see the lock through the panel, you can manually open the flap then.

Thanks Simon, Father in Law just had a go with longnose pliers. Pulled the pin back!. The wife has this really rather annoying habit of running my old E30 convertible dry with fuel. I gave her my car and bought the Msport. She's just phoned my mobile 13 time's, when I was playing football, to tell me she carn't fill the car up!. :boom:
