Fuel Door TD5 2004

Hi guys I'm after a bit of advice regarding fuel door.
My disco fuel door doesn't close, according to the previous owner it never closed properly for them either. Is anybody able to share a few detailed hi resolution pictures of their "mechanism" behind the door ,
Mine will not close properly , but even to close it like the picture I require to poke something through the gap to get it to "bite" and hang onto the door partially , am I missing something ?

Thanks in advance

It could be the little black plastic catch

Try cleaning the black plastic catch and ensure it pivots freely.

Could try that simple things are usually over looked.
Not the first time ive knocked the flap with the pump handle & bent the metal tab.

Happened on mine, just some muck dried behind it.
Got to be careful with flaps!
