Spent another 15 mins fiddling with it this morning in the garage and finally managed to get it open. I could get the top to turn but the lower plastic part was not aligning properly so keeps catching. Have greased it but still catching. Will try tightening the nut slightly to see if that keeps alignment better.

Ps. I noticed the image above shows the cap without the retaining cable. Have others removed the cable? It seems to be more of a hindrance to the locking mechanism than a help in keeping the cap attached when open for fuelling.

I had this problem when heading to Denmark with an empty fuel tank. The dutch AA homeservice came to open it, instructed by the dealer. After one tankstop before Hamburg we had again problems, MorganPark in Hamburg solved the problem (which is very wel known...) by abraising some material from the material inside the filler cap. Now it has more "room" and everything goes fine. Your dealer can deal with it! Good luck!
