when i pull the release for petrol door - nothing happens any more...
before it stoped working it was making a clicking sound when it was opening fuel door
now no sound, no release

HELP, I CANT FILL IT UP AND RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Open the boot, and inside, behind the filler door there is a little flap door. Open that and pull the cable inside and that wil open your filler door

Hope this helps,
Brian

Went to look for it -there is no flap door there ( LS400'92)

hi , i think what brian meant is ... inside the boot roughly where the fuel flap would line up should be a manual release cable.
You may have to pull back the side liner if its not obviously in sight. May have been left behind by a previous owner, but it should be there

Sounds like your springy clip that opens the door is knackered, not sure if yours is electric, if not get someone to hold the lever up or wedge it with something in the car and then pull the door open with your finger......you can get the spring for a few quid from the dealer

it is electric release...
i must have over loaded the pull trigger by pulling it too many times to try to open the door and after too many clicks the cliks stoped...
but the good news is that after few hours it reseted by itselve and is working again

thanks for all help!!!
