40mm lowering springs

Puma 1.7 conversion

New hoses

Xenon HID kit 4500k

Miltek exhaust

421 manifold

B&N short shift gearbox

Piggyback ECU

Bose system

Still have a few plans for it but so far so good. I'm quite proud to be a new member! And looking forward to speaking to a lot of you to find out hidden tips etc.

As I am having trouble with my fuel cap as it's stiff as anything! Haven't managed to fill up yet... 😣 any tricks of the trade?

    Welcome to the family Ross :)

    As for the trick, not sure. If the cap is stuck firm then try pushing the cap in then pull it out, try and make it loose?

    Hello thankyou! :)

    Yeah I've tried everything so far nearly snapped the key.. Tried holding and turning, being patient and pushing in and pulling. Not sure why it's done this. Is It a common problem with fords?

    Not to my knowledge. I would personally suggest that the best thing you can do is go to Ford, they should have tips and tricks!
