If its an el-cheapo locakable petrol cap then do what the panel beaters do when they get a similar era car and no keys.

Just get a small key that will fit in the slot and jiggle the up and down in the slot while you jerk the patrol cap against the fuel tank cap stops with the other hand.

They usually just come off !!!!!

hanra, 'how embarrassment' was like a regular article in dolly or sumthin, used to read it at school when the girls would hand it over.

and here it is, u all lost, haha

the material had unhooked from the hole when i left it at newcastle mini, and my keys fell in there while i was driving with my spares after i picked it up... this morning i had fixed it, but never imagined they were in there... im like james bond or sumthin, but get more ladies 8)
