I posted this on the Cooper forum so apologies if you have read it already.

My fuel cap flap does not lock and it needs repairing. However, as there seems to be no mention at all in the owners' handbook regarding the lockable fuel flap - how does one open this if the locking mechanism fails? In other cars there is a emergency device you can use but none appear to be available on the new MINI.

Any suggestions to this particular awkward problem?
