I had to delete them from my attachment folder as I was running out of space

I think they are in the correct order for the write up above

Thanks, which way does it twist?

hello all, sorry for bringing up an old thread.

 

I am trying to replace my fuel flap but struggling to understand how to remove the locking rod. Instructions in a post above stated 'must be removed on vehicles with central locking =>Page 57-25'.

 

I only have a haynes manual and this doesnt give much detail at all. Any idea how to do this or does anyone have page 57-25 mentioned above at all please? Any help would be great.

 

Thanks.
