I went to the garage this morning to get some diesel and the fuel flap would not open with the car unlocked so had to effect a sharpish repair

I suspected that the solenoid had failed as the car has now done 197,000 miles and must have been opened and closed via the solenoid numerous times.

So next step was to take a look and results are below:

Hi Rob.
Nice clear how to, as already stated if you ever need any O-rings drop me a message as i have lots of different size ones, it may even be a wise idea to check and replace said O-ring for owners, as a preventive measure.

Thanks to Bernard for pointing out that there is no solenoid in the fuel flap, it is motor driven, I wont amend the post now as it will mean redoing the pictures, and the how to is still relevant ,but wanted it to be techinically correct, I cannot amend the title but Mick can do when he reads this to maybe just " How to repair motor driven fuel flap " Thanks to Bernard for pointing it out
