Fuel Flap
The fuel flap on my P80 V70 doesn't open, no noise from the motor, nothing when the button on the door card is pulled. Before I start taking things apart does the motor work via a fuse/relay or is it direct?

My lad fixed mine a while back, I'll ask him. It's at the point where at 15YO, he's a better auto-sparks than me. I don't knwo if this applies to stock cars, but on the BiFuel there's a proxy switch that stops the car starting with the filler-flap open.
If I recall he had the panel off and fitted a pull-release (wire) for next time.

Yes, if you take the inner side panel off you can wrap a wire round a small lever on the mechanism and have a ring pull at the other end to pull if all else fails!

I would have thought that was a factory fitting. Both my C70 and V40 have those as standard.

I tried faulting one recently on an S70 and wasn't very successful, mainly due to someone adding a load of earth wires and I didn't want to spend the time trying to figure out someone elses bodge! However, there is a relay above the driver footwell, possibly a control box, never found it but could hear it. Power wasn't reaching the motor though.
I would first check your switch and then the fuse, on the S70 it shared a fuse for the boot lock, can't remember what else was on it.

With great difficulty I managed to syphon a litre of petrol from the 850 for my lawnmower to save me a trip to the filling station. At the time I thought it was the easy option, but I won't be doing it again

I have a pump and a long thin hose but when I tried to get some petrol from my V70 for my daughter to get home during the fuel crisis I found it easier to disconnect the fuel line from the injector rail and jumper the connections for the fuel pump relay and get it out that way.
