@delroy, those are nice tips about the level sensor and the connectors, thanks for posting.

I tried the connector tip myself yesterday, with a swiss army knife blade up the gap instead of a pick, and it worked a treat.  Wouldn't always be possible to get a knife blade straight in there so I'll find myself a right-angle pick as shown in the video to keep in the car.

 

The other method that does work, but isn't quite as easy depending on location and access is to push the whole connector further on as you're lifting the latch with a finger/thumbnail. This takes the pressure off the latch making it move freely, instead of just snapping off the actuator. Once the latch clicks open (literally, you usually hear the click) you can change from pushing on the connector housing to pulling.

 

Halfords do a small 4 piece pick set for £3. See below

 

I had managed to break the part of the connector that you normally push down but it still locks in place so the pick tool worked a treat in a confined space.
