Fuel fill issue

[<TOMO>]

😓 I've recently got a 2.5 x-type estate on a 54 plate, is it just mine or what? but it is an absolute !Removed! to put petrol in, clicking off the pump at anything over a trickle Also fuel flap does not spring out i have to wedge lever up and open with a finger nail ! my missus is !Removed! at always breaking them lol

Flap not opening properly may mean the cable release needs adjusting. 

Is the breather hole blocked which would not allow the air to escape when filling up?

Put the nozzle in at an angle towards the rear, that should help.
