Petrol cap flap & nails

[Smithy]

Im sure I didn't have this prob with my 1.4, but has anyone else with *well kept* nails looked like a plonker at petrol stations trying to open the petrol cap flap.

Every time I now get the nail clippers out, the first thought that crosses my mind is *do I need petrol* lol

Are you feeling alright Smithy? Stop worryingabout your nails!

u push on the hinge side which pushes the other end out then u can get a good grip

 

[claudefrog]

lol.. whay not just push the other edge, this will open the flap for you

 

[Smithy]

Must be a nack to it I haven't discovered yet, but enough of this nail talk. Ooh, I've come across all queer :gay: lol

 

[cordobabrendy]

push with your fingers and the open end can be grabbed with your thumb.

 

[Smithy]

I'll mess around with it, but you'd think that owning mk2 Ibiza's since I was 19 (now 24) I should be a f'in expert

 

[Cupra Kid]

24, thats getting on a bit

Next time you go to a petrol station, go into the shop and ask for some assistants. I’m sure if you explain it they’ll understand.

Smithy,

I can't beleive that you've publicly humiliated yourself like this !!!

Right, next time you go out to the car, stand facing the petrol cap, extend your right index finger, and push on the RIGHT hand end of the petrol cap flap, and you will miraculously find that the left hand end pops open allowing you to stop acting all camp and fill 'er up with Petrol !!!

You Tart !!!

 

[Georgie]

failing that.. just take the cap off all together..

and call me, i know this great nail salon, they could give you a really nice manaciure!

::slap:: there you smithy - feel better now ?

ps- dont lock the doors until after you filled up does help

especially on a 5 hours old renault espace i broke one nite - ooops sorry boss

 

[Smithy]

I think I've had a shocker here, is it possible to be THAT blonde! lol

Apologies for such an anal thread, I think because my 1.4 was easily opened from the left that it's never crossed my mind to push the hinge side in. *holds head in shame* lol

Do you have this trouble with the other kind of 'flaps'?
