?? What are you talking about? When the car locks the fuel flap locks too. I'm sure it's able to be pried open but I'll assure you the BA one can be too (had to do it recently when the actuator jammed it shut). As for the actuation, meh - press the flap and it opens (when the car is unlocked). Not sure how much harder that is to pressing the button on the dash or pulling the leaver on the floor.
yeah I found this out the hard way.
in the work office boss wants me to do some stuff. so grab his car (VE) and he says while your at it go fill up with some fuel.
jump out at servo, lock the car (what I always do with mine)
knew that you have to press the flap in so it then clicks out from previous noticing with VE's.
wouldn't work was like what the.....
unlocked car. tried again.
felt like a real idiot :s
the fuel cap on the tiny tether though if its on the VF aswell wonder what damage it could potentially do to the paintwork around the filler cap. I remember seeing a few scratches in that area which looked pretty average to be honest.
