Hi guys, just started to get to grips with my project, first thing get some fuel in it and let it run, problem is that the fuel flap won't open, the cable is snapped at the lever end, so it's gonna need a new cable a rethreading, but in the mean time canthe flap be opened from inside the boot?

 

Thanks in advance

Cable also opens the boot, so open the boot lid with the key, then remove the side panel behind the flap and the mechanism can be pulled to release the flap, or work with pliers at the broken end pushing the cable not pulling to see if it opens.

Thanks Jeff, lucky all the boot panels are out on account of the rust in the spare wheel well !

I'll give it a go,

 

How hard is it to thread a new car though

Frikken google auto correct!!!!

Thanks Jeff I'm in now, superstar, odd thing it looks as if the flap cable loops back to the boot release , so do I only need to replace the section from the boot release to the lever?

 

Thanks so much

No its all one piece, see picture >>

 

 

A good second hand one will be fine.

Blummin hell, that's massive, I couldn't feel where is connected to at the flap side, seems to be quite far after the flap and mechanism, so I need one these, wanted section for me :-)

 

 

Thanks again
