I have difficulty fueling the car. The fueling "pistol" is difficult to insert all the way, it always blocks after a few liters put in and the car spits back fuel Exorcist style (insert sexual innuendo here). I am booked for servicing next week, anything I need to know? Maybe a common fault?

It is a relativly common problem... Something to do with the spring for the filler flap... They can fix it pretty fast.

And my flap gets stuck a bit. Maybe you are right.

There is a certian order you need to follow when filling so the pistol does not shut off all the time
1. Turn Off Car
2. Remove key from Ignition
3. hit fuel door release

If you are doing that then it is more then likely a fuel vent or flap problem

I assume by "flap" you are referring to the little green one inside, yeah? If so, they have to replace the entire fuel filler neck to fix it. It's not a big deal, and it doesn't really take very long. It's covered under warranty as well.

And my flap gets stuck a bit. Maybe you are right.

Yeah, I think that is the part that they ordered.
