Am I just weak..............?

[McPikie]

or does anybody else ever struggle to get the oil cap and header tank cap off?

I've just spent 10 minutes ripping the palm of my hand apart for **** all, still couldn't get the header tank cap off to check my water. It's manky so I can't see through it

French shite

Yep, just slipped even quicker, lol.

Think I will order a nice new header tank so I can see through it

just do what i did - Break the wires for the thermo on the Rad, totally not notice it, pour in some engine flush, run on a high idle for 10-15mins during which grab a cuppa tea, go out switch the motor off then dive over the patio wall as the header cap spins it's self off - IN A HURRY, and do a coolant flush at the same time - 2 burd with 1 stone

In all seriousness, i got lucky this time, knew what id done straight way, so fired it back up and bridged the fan, what a tit, All coz of that F**kin oil filter

I use molegrips too.

Only cap I've been able to undo recently was the brake res. cap after mr 2Live screwed it on the other week.

Can't get the PAS, header or oil caps off without assistance.
