Petrol cap key stuck - Rover 200

Hi,

Just heared from my old dad that he can't get the key out of the petrol cap (W reg Rover 200). I said have you:

  1. Squitred lots of WD40 down it - Yes
  2. Given it the really big pull - No I think it is also the ignition key and he doesn't want to go too crazy.

Anybody been here before? Thanks in advance. Fred

I guess that it's possilbe that the cap mechanism is not turned around enough to release the key. Can it be tried off the car (in a vice?) and turn the locking mechanism fully rather than the key? The aim is to maintain the key integrity rather than the petrol cap I assume.

My Rover 200 has a separate key for the fuel cap ... possibly due to this :)

Cheers, Mark
