Petrol filler cap fiddly to use.

Is anyone else's ridiculously tricky to unlock? I have to push mine down and still takes a few attempts without trying to force it! Took me a few minutes of fiddling this morning when filling up.

Yeah mine is the same occasionally, nearly bent my key last time. Squirted some WD in there and is better, still not perfect though

lithium grease is what you need, not WD

Push the key to one side or the other and see if that works. Sometimes the bottom pin is not pushed far enough because of a worn out key.
