Why is the fuel door on my Kia not opening?

When the flap was opened, I got someone to pull the lever up while I watched the flap lock, this didn’t move at all, so I guess the cable must have broken at either the flap or the lever end, I guess this is operated by a cable and not anything electric. Anyone had a similar issue to their Ceed and how have they managed to fix iT?

Why does the fuel door flap not open?

One question, when I had managed to open the flap to fuel, I had someone pulling at the lever on the floor by the driver door and I could.t see the lock moving, should this move at all when the lever is operated? The spring is what flaps it open and the cable is run from the opposite side to the hinge and is fed from the boot.
