Gas Filler Lid Switch
The switch on the dash that opens the gas cap lid has often been known to fail -- even causing vehicles to be towed into the dealer through inability to gas up. If this happens to you, remove the right hand side panel in the load space so you can reach in and operate the latch from the inside by hand. If you are concerned about this problem occuring, you can take preventive measures by a) getting an updated switch installed and b) attaching a string or wire to the inside of the latch in advance, leading it out through the access door at the rear of the load space side panel. Rafael Herbosa had his first romance with his Range Rover when the gas filler lid would not open. He reports that he he modified the approach recommended here -- instead of adding a string, he bypassed the electrical circuit and created a nice small push button switch that activitates the actuator and wiring tapped on the rear light. His approach and others are detailed on the Fuel Filler Switch Fixes Page
