Buy an old Si and then find the petrol cap won't come off.
Well it as been off once or twice, but now won't budge, is this a common problem and should I try to resist the hammer approach ?

Just force it off lol. Or, put the key in and get a massive pair of grips/clamp of some sort, put it around the cap and twist.. could leave the key out and do it too, but might be a bit harder if the key isnt in there as the lock wont open.. If that doesnt work hammer a screwdriver in the lock... twist it open, if none of them work, then force it off somehow lol. |

Yeah, just try a small chisel to get underneath then it will just pop out, had to do it many times on my old MK3 when the key kept spinning
