was it the same pump this happened at?

Pretty sure the overfill click is nothing to do with the car but the nozzle's safety mechanism.

Very strange mate! I have the same car and never had issue including filling up at various french and swiss stations.

Maybe you just had the nozzle in at a slightly weird angle without noticing? I'm at a loss really, just guessing now

yeah bit of a strange 1, had to wipe the car both times now was thinking it could be a problem with the actual tank but i will try fit it in a bit more maybe or something next time.

thanks though!

As has been said this is not an issue with your car. See here:

By the way, latched nozzles (where you can leave the nozzle resting in the car delivering fuel 'hands-free') are not permitted in Europe.

Thank you! that was an interesting article to read. Maybe it was pump or just me not putting it in enough
