Ok right I have a dillema, I use the pump as normal, and it does the same with every pump, no matter what.
I put the nozzle in, and the handle clicks off straight away, no matter how far in or out I put the nozzle, and it doesn't matter which way I twist it in there either.
I can usually get about a fiver in it. Bit confused why at this stage. but I really have to trickle that in too. if its too fast it clicks. I cant win.
has anyone experienced this before?
someone has mentioned to me a blocked breather but, surely it would still go in a bit?

some have said the little flap at the top of the filler neck brokes off and falls down blocking it so check that to.

Are you pulling the lever in all the way on the pump handle? I've found with almost all my cars with a side mounted filler that if I only pull in the lever 1/2-3/4 of the way, it doesn't click off as much. Also rotating the handle to 45degrees seems to make a difference too.
Only car I've ever been able to just fill the lever and fill as you would want to is the TT but this is a straight down fill, ie the nozzle goes in vertically.
