Discovery 2 Fuel Flap?

[Shaker]

If, for some reason the mechanism that opens the fuel filler flap from the dash control fails, is there any other way of opening it? (Without destroying it).

opened mine with a feeler gauge. only thing that I had to fit. when you get it open you may need to bend the flap thing. best of luck:(

I haven't had it fail yet, it is more of a "what if" query.
We do travel to quite remote areas, & I would like to know beforehand what to do if it fails.
Some vehicles have a concealed pull cable.

bigger problem is the D2 bonnet release if you have not got a jack elsewhere

I use the high speed pumps when filling and the larger nozzle knocks the locking mec if not careful.only had a problem twice both times in out of the way places. its a p.i.a. when in a hurry.:mad:

I see the fuel filler as bigger issue, someone else will definitely have a jack!

I've never heard of it failing, but anythings possible. You could probably just push the catch flap thing with a flat screwdriver I guess.

mine opens but the pin that holds it shuts failed. looks funny in photos with it all flexed up n the cap open

Mine does it too from time to time.EASY PEASY get the key and poke it into the latch to release,just be careful not to scratch the duco!!!

The plastic bit on the door broke on mine. Just became brittle. Ive taken the door off, looks a little tuffer now.
