Fuel filler flap problem
« on: 15 October 2009, 17:09:40 »
Hi all

Our Mig has just developed a little problem with the fuel filler flap....

Basically it wont lock with the central locking like it should....

Nearly dropped me in the mire coming home from work last night cos I pulled in to the Shell station near here with the display showing 16 MILES range, only to find I couldnt open the bleeding flap to put fuel in.....!!!

Luckily I made it to Tesco this morning running on vapours and refuelled after pulling the locking rod open manually.....

Now, the locking rod wont extend AT ALL to lock the flap shut.....

Any help or advice gratefully received....

Cheers


Martyn

Locking motor is probably knackered, mine did the same.
Undo the two screws on the rear wheel arch in the first aid box cupboard, unplug and replace with a known good one.
Mine had melted the commutator of the locking motor.
