Erm, how do you open the fuel filler flap?
Just bought my little 1.2l Stilo, 3 Door, only done 30k and looks like its been looked after by the previous owners. Soo, went for my first drive today after sorting out the insurance and since the fuel was low, drove to Tesco to fill it up. Parked up next to the pump, got out and tried to open the flap but nope, wouldn't budge at all. :bang: Earlier on today, I'm sure I'd read that it unlocks automatically if the rest of the car is unlocked??
So, I scratched my head for a couple mins looking for a release button but then :idea:, I remembered that there was an emergency release in the boot!! Pulled the weedy red string behind the carpet panel and hey presto, we were in business!
So erm, yeah, how do you do it the proper way?
