you were right, it needed adjusting not replacing

It's just an issue of confidence really, I am all fat fingers and big thumbs.

Next time I'll have a go myself

Epic Fail Alert

So remember the fuel door for my car? I fixed it right?

Well, I keep checking it, just in case, and it stuck again, FFS. More WD40, no effect this time. Then all of a sudden it worked, then I'd drive somewhere, and it wouldn't work straight after. I've got a mate who is a mechanic whom I had planned on showing it to, and wasn't going to mention it on this thread out of embarrassment.

Anyhoo, I was discussing it with a friend last night and I mentioned unlike all my previous cars, this one doesnt have a lever/button inside the car to unlock the fuel door, you just 'open it'. He said "but, it would be easy to siphon petrol, there must be one" and I said, nah.

I went home, slept on it, went out this morning, it worked fine, went to the gym and checked it at the gym, it stopped working again.

Scientific Barry reasoned "hmmmmm, it must be something to do with the engine warming something up and making it sticky"

Finished at the gym and it just clicked.

Carter, you f^&%ng idiot.

It wont open when the car is locked, it will open when the car is unlocked.



This is what you are up against guys and gals, 2013 is going to be a long year.


Level?

That is brilliant Barry. Made my day!

By the way, to pass an MOT test the fuel system must be complete with a locking fuel filler cap. This can either be one that you need a key to open the actual cap, or one that is opened by a lever inside the car, or one that locks and unlocks with the central locking of the car.

Sorry Barry but I feel this may be my fault. It was the first thing I thought of when you mentioned your problem but I didn't know it applied to Fords.

I only thought of it because I once saw a girl in a petrol station struggling with her filler cap on a mini. She eventually left the station having not filled up. I realised afterwards what her problem would've been as mini's are manufactured by the same company as my car which does the same thing.

I didn't mention it on here because I thought it was too simple and I might get laughed at for stating the obvious.

Where you're concerned I won't make that mistake again.

Nice work.

Let's all follow this advice guys. No matter how simple it may be let's mention it, should anybody mock a simple post we need to refer them back to this incident.

lol, yeah its all EvilPie's fault, lets all laugh at him.

The sad thing is, I actually cant help but feel a sense of accomplishment that I worked out what was wrong.

In other news I replaced a long standing missing button on my cooker today, probs not the right time to brag about it.

I assumed this was the opening line to a much more interesting story from Matt's life.

Sadly no Sad

If I'd realised what was happening immediately I could've heroically saved the day for her.

Shame really 'cause she was well fit!!
