Many thanks Nigel for your reply that's really helpful, I'll have a good look at it and see if there's anything going on + try the lubricant idea then if that doesn't work, replace it 👍🏻

Hi all, new member here with a question about the inner fuel cap on a 2021 Fabia mk3. Recently after filling up I found that the cap once screwed into place and 'clicked' in (the 'click' it does when screwed fully round in a clockwise motion) didn't want to stay clicked in and kept rotating back slightly 'unclicking' itself. I faffed about with it for a bit in case the bit of elastic that holds it on when unscrewed was interfering and eventually it clicked and stayed. Today I've filled up and come to relace the cap and it just won't stay clicked in - it still feels fairly secure, but everytime I turn it clockwise and get the click, it turns itself anticlockwise slightly and unclicks. I've faffed about with it for ages and it just won't stay. I'm not sure if I need to get hold of a new one, but obviously will need to drive the car for a brief period of time before I can do that. So I'm wondering, is it risky to do so (I had visions of the cap working its way off if I drive over a bump!) is there anything I could do to mitigate this, and if I do need a new one, could anyone reccommend a reputable place which sells replacements please. Thanks in advance 😊
