Hi All,
One of our i-miev clone fleet has suffered a broken spring that opens and keeps open the AC charge port open (when unlocked) and I can't find anything on line about it other than...

Without it, f you close the lid properly, it is v difficult to get it open again when unlocked... Anyone got any ideas as to sourcing a replacement?
(Edit: I don't think the pic above actually indicates the correct part. This is a second device which I think is supposed to keep the flap open rather than the spring in question (which mounts just below the one indicted) which pops the flap open when the lever is pulled permitting you to get your finger-tips behind the door to further open it. Otherwise the flap just sits there flush with the wing and short of using a screwdriver or something to prise it open (whilst also pulling the lever - 2 person job unless you prop something under the lever) you can't open the flap.)
