Didnt people learn last time this was all over the forum
Must have been all or 3 / 4 months ago
#7: Re: Fuel Cap Author: lofty, Location: Near ManchesterPosted: Mon Mar 14, 2011 4:01 pm ---- A kettle of boiling water on the outside of the cap works evrytime for me even when it reaches -12 here!!!
Sometimes I have used a lighter to heat the blade of the key up and then tried it in the lock, sometimes it takes a couple of goes.
I only have one key and its a real pain!
