I was just about to post about this problem with my 1999 V70. I've just come in with scraped knuckles from trying to find how to manually work the actuator. I only managed to get the side carpets partly off but did manged to get my hand on the actuator. Of course I don't know what I am feeling for. Found some pics which seem to show a short green plastic puller and I haven't been back to check that. Might be on P2 and/or P3 cars possibly XC's which have different side panels.
I pulled into the garage for petrol with the the low fuel light on after collecting the car from the garage after MOT and had to drive home when I couldn't get the flap open. Catch 22 situation at the moment!
Hopefully someone has had their hand in there recently and remembers how to give the right bit a pull or push. I've noted the picture in the previous post.
