Problems with lock on fuel flap

[Steve]

most german cars and many other european cars (volvo, saab etc) have to have the left rear fog light on, it's a law in europe, now many have both rears on in the newer models, Jag, volvo and others. Great way to tell the who is using their fog lights as beacons instead of auxillary lights in poor visibility situations.

The fuel flap on mine won't lock. The locking needle moves out when I press the remote, but does not seem to have anything to lock in to. There appears to be a slot on the flap into which the needle should locate, but it does not appear to be aligned. Is there a plasic/rubber insert for the flap which has fallen out or maybe the needle is not long enough, although it seems to be. Very puzzling. Anyone else had the same problem?
