Once you open the petrol flap, there is a cover inside, what is everyone's like? Should they screw on? Cos the one on my car just pushes into the hole. A mechanic said it would fail an MOT, as it isn't a proper one...

The standard ones are locking ones.
The one you currently have on is just a Universal filler cap, sell them at petrol stations and stuff.

Why would they lock? As the flap locks with central locking. Is it the same key as the one for the rest of the car? Cheers.
