1994 LWB gas filler door button being finicky

[Blueboy]

Sometimes it works fine other times the flap doesn’t open.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

In my '95 the button only actuates the flap when key is OFF. Other than that I would think bad actuator or electrical short somewhere.

Same on the ‘94. Yesterday it worked fine 5 times in a hour. Then stopped and now this morning works fine.

Having the same issue… anyone know the part number for the actuator for. ‘95 classic?

Guessing the same as all of them that had this feature. Pretty sure it is the switch or actuator that is failing on mine. Might just take the flap off until I get it sorted.

Pretty sure it’s the same as the P38. Maybe even the Disco2.

How difficult do you think it would be to change it to the locking mechanism from a D1?

I didn’t think this market used the locking gas door in a Disco1.

Yes, my ‘96 D1 has the locking gas door. Keyed to ignition key.

Oh yeah I was thinking electric release. I always take all the tumblers out of that lock.

I understand now. I wouldn’t change it over. It’s a shit simple circuit. Just fix that, don’t start molesting your Classic

Yeah. Agreed. Just a passing thought.
