i can open midges with my keys, we were testing it out.

My phase 2 key will fit midges fuel and one of hes scrappers... you need to find a mate with a clio to test it out!

Sometimes the barrel sticks as they're never a perfect fit.... wiggle it and apply some gentle pressure and it'll turn the fuel filler cap lock.

We did it to a V6 in Newquay with our 19 and a Megane key as the owner didn't believe us.Needless to say they weren't overly impressed as they're not cheap items to replace on the V6 (Same with everything else on that bloody car) :roll:
