   the previous owner has put a tacky silver cap on, wondering if i wanted to get a standard petrol cap from scrappies or of here, does it have its own key like the tacky thing ive got on now?

   Or alternatively hold the painted outer part in one hand and turn key clockwise 90 degrees (so the cap is in the locked position) and simply pull the key out. If you get another saxo cap your key will not fit of coursse so either use the key that hopefully will come with it or remove the pins from the lock barrel. Only problem is the cap can then be removed very easily by undesireables.

   if you have trouble finding a saxo one with a key get a pug 106 cap cause they also fit

   Just get the plastic outer panel. £4.45 + vat from citroen just pull our old one off paint the new one and clip on simple job no need for a new lock or key you already have one mate.
