That was embarrassing. My new Defender has a petrol flap release button on the dash by the instrument display dimmer switch, as found by the AA response guy.
My previous P300 Defender didn’t have one as the flap was unlocked with the central locking. The manual makes no mention of this button. 2019 Range Rover SDV8 Autobiography 2023 Defender 110 P400e X-Dynamic HSE - gone 2020 Defender P300 SE - gone 2019 Jaguar F-Pace SVR - gone 2013 SDV8 Autobiography - gone 2011 L322 TDV8 Vogue SE - gone 2006 L322 3.6 Vogue Se - gone 1999 P38 4.0 se - gone 199?

Well my D250 has no locking fuel flap you just press the rear and it opens, no locking fuel cap either
I have fitted an aftermarket locking fuel cap. |

Anyone know why they would change from ‘locking/unlocking via central locking’ to having a separate dash button to perform the same task? 2019 Range Rover SDV8 Autobiography

Apparently on the hybrid the fuel tank is non vented and you need to equalise pressure before you open fuel tank. The electric switch facilitates this

This is correct. It was the same with my i8 and now on Mrs Fifer’s Evoque hybrid. |
