Hi Ollie

I've just replaced the fuel flap hinge on my V70 using your invaluable post as a guide... it saved me a lot of time and mistakes and all went smoothly. I didn't swear once! I notice from the photos that you have the fuel cap retainer strap held under one of the lock screws instead of looped to the hook on the fuel flap where it usually is. This looks like a good idea to reduce the strain on the fuel flap... was it like that when you got it or was it an idea of yours?
