General: From the S80 forum - fuel flap replacement

Yes its the same. Theres a tiny plastic lug, seen here between the fingertips



There's another above it, you'll see the broken bits on your hinge. Just use a self taper screw, about 15/20mm long and leave the head proud to retain the spring.

I replaced mine 2 years ago and now the plastic spring retainers are flying off again !!!!!

Too much plastic on cars these days, I have remounted my air filter box base with bolts, nuts and rubber washers so no more probs there !!

To be fair...they're less than £10. It's hardly a big deal for as long as they remain available. Just don't do what I did and throw the black plastic 'pins' on the floor (on gravel...) before you realise you need them...!

cheers
