Is the fuel flap meant to lock when you lock the car?
It has been like this since I've had the car. :-?

You mean it's been locked since you got the car? Probably the motor goosed. To open it, you can access the locking bolt/pin from inside the boot/rear off side wing.  :y

It never locks.
Might be something stupid? I'll check behind the trim.
