On a Vectra open the boot and the driver's side cubbyhole, reach in right to the inside of the body panel and reach forward behind the bracketting.
The flap lock solenoid is held in place only by two plastic clips. Press the solenoid assembly slightly toward the inside of the car, pull back on the whole solenoid while releasing the outer side clip. Once you feel that clear the solenoid, press the inner side clip whilst pulling gently back on the solenoid. The solenoid complete with the lock pin should become free.

Same thing happened to my Vectra 'b', I 'fixed' it by thumping the fuel filler flap whilst using the key fob to activate central locking, it's been fine since...
