locking fuel flap

Hi all.
Just thought id ask in case there is a simple reason why my locking fuel flap does not lock with the central locking.

Are they even suppose to ??????

Just with the price of fuel, thought there was a risk of it being stolen, the fuel that is

Thanks

mick

Mine does not - I have a 2008 LR3 V8 HSE with all the options, so I think it might depend on the market?

I know some cars delay locking the filler cap for 5 minutes to allow re-fuelling to take place; perhaps this has been added for 2008 model? Or more likely, yours is duff Wink

The filler cap cap is unlocked if you press the lock button twice within a few seconds - the doors are locked, the motion sensors are off and the filler cap is open. If you only press the lock button once then evrything should lock.

Took me a while to figure this out as my previous car required a double press to put the dead locks on and I kept semi-unlocking the D3 when I left it Embarassed

If its not lubricating - what the frack does is do then ?

Its a very fine penetrating oil... that by its very nature lubricates.
