Is it normal for these to suddenly die in the locked position??

It was working on Saturday when i stuck some petrol in. Go to do the same on sunday and i can't get the flap open. It's a good thing i know about the emergency flap in the boot to open the thing and manually lock it afterwards

They could stick in any position mate. If the motor dies for whatever reason it will stop working in whichever position its sat when it does.

you can open it from the boot there is a release on the right below the shelf support looks like a plastic tab and its a common fault on vecs they all do it
