    i change petrol caps a while ago and need the key from the original petrol cap and i cant seem to take the key out. ive lost the key to the petrol cap on the car at the moment. so as confusing as this is i need help on removing the current petrol cap (as i lost the keys) and removing the key from the original cap.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I'd say your fucked tbh! Try contacting the place you bought it from, explain your predicament and see if you can get a spare.

    Sorry to hear that lad, definitely a case to stay clear of aftermarket alloy petrol caps though lol. Let me know if you need a hand, and when you sort it!
