Does anyone here know how to reset the fuel flap on a Tourer so it locks again kindly having had the "emergency release" pulled?

TIA.

That's a good one, pass though, I thought the release pull was just sort of sprung loaded so should have sprung back, has it?

That sort of suggests something is broken doesn't it? Can you disassemble it and take a look at it??

I'm basically fishing for ideas at the moment before I start pulling things apart, just in case anyone else had any ideas I could try before I broke it more than it is already... :angel:
