    Hi guys,

    Can't put petrol in my car as the petrol door will not open.

    It usually opens with the key but is locked and I cannot find an alternative.

    Any helpers ??
    Thx

    You can get at the latch from inside the boot.

    Does it make any noise when you lock/unlock the car?

    No doesn't make any noise when locking/unlocking.

    Don't mind if it no longer works off central locking just need to get petrol into it.
    And cant get petrol cause the petrol door wont open.
    Cant get it to mechanic as no petrol.

    Catch 22 and an unhappy wife walking the kids to school in the rain.

    I tried to get at it from book but no luck.
    Don't know what i'm looking for.

    Megane 2008 Saloon

    go into your boot of your car,on the side of the petrol cap there will be an emergency fuel flap release, pull the carpet/lining back a bit to access this flap ,

    give the locking mechanism a good spray of wd40 while its open, as it might have been just seized before
