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.

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

Re: Petrol filler cap
lithium grease is what you need, not WD

Re: Petrol filler cap
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.
