trying to force it open is likely to break the mechanism!

If I recall, there is a manual release cable located inside the boot behind the removable flap in the trim on the side of the boot space. Another issue can be that if you have the car set to lock the doors when you drive off, when you then stop and open your drivers door the other doors don't open (think this may be only on some model years) and it only releases the fuel flap if you then open all the doors with the key fob. Not 100% about this as it's been years since I had the problem but thought it worth mentioning. Hope it helps. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

Ahh Bobby to the rescue yet again... good man Thumbs Up

To be fair though M8, the search isn't always that easy to get right.

Glad my old memory was correct about the manual release though.... not
completely losing it yet Smile Now then...... where DID I leave my slippers?.......................... Confused Wink 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
