    ....Should this lock?

    Just been out at the car and for some reason opened the filler cap when the car was locked, it opened. Should this lock when the car is locked?

    Hmm... don't think mine locks when the car is locked. Was sure it was just a swing cap. Could be wrong. Will have a look later.
