How to Repair Fuel Flap Solenoid
I went to the garage this morning to get some diesel and the fuel flap would not open with the car unlocked so had to effect a sharpish repair
I suspected that the solenoid had failed as the car has now done 197,000 miles and must have been opened and closed via the solenoid numerous times. So next step was to take a look and results are below:

If you do ever find the motor not working correctly on these there are a couple of breather holes in the plastic end cap of the motor. A good squirt of contact cleaner in these holes usually does the trick

I did one of these today, very fiddly in this case the motor had indeed packed in, so it was swapped out for a known good one three hands would be good also the rubber stop for the fuel flap to butt up to had swollen with the diesel.

The clip on the upper edge of the flap is the same and can be used to replace the locking one.
