    Hi all, I am currently trying to fix my fuel filler door and I am unsure if there is a bit that has snapped off at some point as it is no longer staying shut. The latch seems to be working properly.
    Just wondering if someone could post a picture of their door as I can't really find any that show it clearly.

    Thanks in advance

    Looked at a mates last night and it turns out it is the latch isn't sticking out far enough.
    Is it possible to adjust this, if so, how?

    Maby either get some lube on it, it may be just getting stuck.

    Or, Have you looed at the door?, No brokem pieces where it slide's in?

    More often than not it's the door that brake's. Just where it slide's in.

    That should work, But if not go in from the boot and see if the spring is working as normal.
