is there a nak to it
To me, there's something completely unintuitive about the process.
Or I'm a bozo.......
Why? I have a Panda - and it doesn't matter what side the pump is on, the filler cap is at the rear of the car so you can easily reach the hose around if on the other side. Never ever been an issue for meGreat info folks, I won't look a total idiot now when I go to fill up my 500 for the first time (unless the filler cap is on a different side to my present car of course :doh: )

As described above!
I can also confirm that the plastic 'string' is weak, ours is broken. But that is after 5 years, so, not bad going for a thin piece of plastic on a Fiat ;-) To be fair though the string is.. well, not particularly useful anyway if you hang it on the hook.
Which reminds me, I need to cut the string off the filler cap as it just flails around at the moment - annoying. I always think about it when refuelling and then always forget by the time I'm home.
I don't think it's that weak if you take care.
My car is 3.5 years old and I've always taken care to never tangle it or twist it or get it caught and it's in as good condition as it was when I got it.
Indeed, I'm sure it could last.

Well I think the wiring in the hatch and the breather pipes failing are little to do with mechanical sympathy, my first replacement lasted days.
