Rav 4 petrol door flap bust spring  fix

[mickdabass]

EXCELLENT!

 

Ive got a RAV4 (1994, 238K original clutch & exhaust and never had a spanner on it!) and have nearly lost the spring a few times.

I'm glad you replied, Mick, because only on reading your reply did I also see the horizontal scroll bar (until then, I had wondered what connection there was between the title and the image).  But having now seen the full image, and read the words "Unleaded fuel only", I am reminded that for the first time yesterday I noticed the equivalent legend on my own car (a SAAB 9000 Aero); "Use unleaded premium petrol (98 octane) only".  Where the h@ll can a chap buy 98 octane fuel in the U.K. today !?

Shell V-power is 99 RON (Research Octane Number) as is Tesco Momentum 99. Most super unleaded's are 97 RON or over

Thank you !  Amazingly even the owner/proprietor of our local petrol station (which shall remain anonymous) thought that her super-unleaded was 98 octane -- it is, in fact, 97.

Glad it was of use to someone.  Panic call from my wife at garage forced me to lateral thinking (again!) of how to fix.  Thought it was the cable at 1st - but that was ok & no sign of any spring to flip out lid.
