Do you mean the fuel flap rather than the cap?

If so, you can reach inside the rear cubby to pull the release tab to get it to open.

I had it happen to me the other week on the forecourt, was cursing trying to rip it open >.< Parked up and had a rummage round this site and it turned out, for me anyway, locking the car and unlocking again made it open.

There is a thread somewhere about resetting the locks but cannot find it at the moment.

Thanks guys.......after trying the lock/unlock, giving up and driving into town, I found it worked. Just like a woman, or some women Censored I'll have a look for that release lever and give it a good squirt of oil. Life always good with a Landy
