I'm getting a warning message on the multifunction display in the middle of the dashboard, which says: 'Fuel tank access not properly locked' and is accompanied by 3 beeps.

It's an intermittent fault, but it's happening several times on every journey.

Sometimes it's accompanied by the door open warning light, on the instrument panel.

I can't see anything visibly wrong in the fuel filler area. The fuel cap & the fuel flap seem to work ok, as does the fuel flap release button inside of the car.

Any advice guys ?

a quick search on google suggests that there maybe an issue with the magnets in the cap and the wiring loom which is telling the car that the cap is not locked/closed properly.
