Hinged Petrol Cap Filer Cover not closing and locking!
I have just bought a 480es 1995 M plate and have noticed that the hinged cover over the petrol cap does not close properly and catch the release pin. Currently being held down with tape! Very attractive!
Is the cable easy to replace/fix? Cheers. |

It may be that the pin has jammed. You can access it from the inside of the boot by removing the side panel (quite easy). Then you can unscrew the plastic nut inside the flap & extract the whole assembly from the inside. Once you've got it out, the problem will be evident. Whole job, 10 minutes.
Luck, Chris. |
