Feels like the cables came off as I can’t open the petrol flap and the pull doesn’t feel right. Is there no emergency pull somewhere on the car (it’s a 65 plate)

Going by other vehicles I've owned, if you remove the side trim/panelling on the side wall of the boot, you will (usually) see an emergency release tag that you pull to manually override the locking mechanism.

At least you should be covered by Guarantee. :)
No mention of my manual of alternative emergency release.

Checked the manual expecting a little diagram like other cars I’ve had but like you say nothing. Dealers are having a quick look in an hour so hopefully they’ll just clip it back on (assuming it’s just popped off and not snapped)

New cable clip fitted FOC. All is good with the world once more.

Better than my vaux meriva ... motor blew no way to open off the road for 3
Days but that's the price of doors and fuel flap opening and closing every time you pull away and turn off engine .... main dealer repair foc
