Filled the beast for the first time and what a pain in the arse it was!!!!...Not only did it cost £93 but it took about 8 minutes to fill up the tank as the nozzle kept cutting out if you pulled the trigger all the way up. Only way I could do it was to hold trigger half way and let the diesel trickle in ...Is there a known problem with the fuel filler on the Rangie that causes forecourt fuel pumps to cut out

Turn the trigger upside down

& I thought it was me just being a bifta

Must say when I turned the nozzle round it's much better

Does that actually work??...Never had a problem with the Sport

Cheers..

Never had a problem myself, but wasn't there a thread on here somewhere before about this. I think it basically depended on which garages you went to i.e. different garages use different pump manufacturers, so if you went to say Tesco, then if it works at 1 Tesco it is probably fine at all of them as they use the same company(s) to install their petrol pumps and so the breathing systems on the nozzles are the same whereas another garages nozzles may always be an issue. I'm probably talking crap now but I did think the fill rate was down to the gun/nozzle & its control mechanism, not the car in any way. Steve

You could very well be right RRVSE but as I said never had an issue with any fiiling station in the RRS

I had the same problem of fuelling taking forever.

I had a new filler neck fitted under warranty.

I think sainsburys is ok (fill speed wise) & I need to take a day's leave if I'm filling up @ tesco..

I had this issue on the TDV8, there is a known Technical Bulletin about it, and I had my fuel filler neck replaced. However, I still find some pumps just click off annoyingly, so I have no choice but to turn the nozzle upside down, then it seems to work. The only downside really is that you sometimes need a glove on each hand to prevent getting diesel on you.

poor really, ever filled up an FL2? they don't have the stupid misfueling guard inside the filler, just a BIG filler neck that swallows ANY diesel nozzle like a french whore gobbles c**k.

The problem could be that you are not used to having the misfuelling device that the FFRR Tdv8 has that the D3 and RRS don't have. I don't have a problem filling at Shell or BP forecourts but do at Esso, I have also noticed that even though they don't mark them, a lot of filling stations have one or even two pumps that are higher capacity so they can handle artics and big trucks - the tank in the RR fills in about 2 minutes from one of those. Only £93 worth of fuel, you're being a miser there Jim, that's only 2/3rd's of a tank  2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I've not had a problem in my 2006 SC, have they changed the filler neck design, or does this only occur on the oil burners?
