It seems my shitheap doesn't like cold weather... As I cannot for the life of me unlock the fuel filler cap for my XSi... Has anyone had one before and had this problem? Any way at all of solving it? I have NO petrol and need to leave for work in 20 minutes

Coincidentally, that is the very bus I'd be getting But no Nath, as my work is 30 miles away and said bus takes 3 lightyears.

as said spray plenty of WD40 on the key and inside the lock, be careful though because if the key snaps in it then its game over mate.

i had this on the mighty laguna the other day, although it has a central locking pin flap, but the central locking pin didnt want to play ball that night, solved that problem by just ripping the flap off, just got to get a locking cap now though!

Aye that's what the result was here Brute force and ignorance! Now it opens, but that's because there's not very much to open

If anyone sprays WD40 into their barrel they should re-lube it afterwards with graphite lube, other wise the barrel will f**k up.
