Hi, I have just noticed that when my car (2006 RRS SC) is locked, the fuel filler flap is not.

I can see where the pin should pop out (first photo) and where it should locate in the flap (second photo).

Is this an easy part to replace? Cost?

Many thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem. My fuel flap doesn't lock either. I have noticed a cable/rod? is loose behind the trim...the end of the cable goes into a kind of point is this the rod mention in posts above? If so, is it easy to insert back in? 2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 Autobiography - Stornoway Grey
