Oh, would that it had worked - unfortunately the remote lock/unlock procedure didn't work. (but the dog thinks she's going for a walk as the amber flashes usually mean somebody is looking for her lead!)
So it looks like I'll have to remove the boot lining tomorrow morning, thanks again for the advice.
Will post follow ups & solution tomorrow as I get the flap open to refuel; later in the week I'll photograph replacement/renewal process for future reference. I would video the process, but the laughing/smiling nosey golden retriever gets a bit wearing!
Thanks again
Alan
