   you mean the oil cap? the thing you pour oil through? and one of the things you possibly have to identify to actually pass your test? shitting hell, put the tools down.

    lol and your obviously a better mechanic than me as well. being that while working at mercedes i drove anything from a the mercedes range, and when working at a jap importers one summer i drove everything from a delica to a dc5, i doubt it. but seriously, you dont know what an oil cap is??
    
    btw, its probally stuck on either some of the coil pack loom, or the breather is still plugged in.

    if you've driven the amount you reckon and haven't even learnt what an oil filler cap is, i pity you, i really,really do. you know at the back of the car?? well there is a similar device there, you put petrol in that one and its called a petrol cap.

    no movement all all? get a pic up, find a pic on google or something of a normal engine bay, and circle everything you've removed

    If everything's disconnected all it needs is a pull, I had to give mind a good pull before it came off

    You need to take out your coil pack as that's sitting on it enough to resist you

    No need to touch the coil pack, just pull it but make sure you don't lose the two washers inside the rocker sat on the baffle plate

    Did mine to day. Came of easy, but i did take the coil pack out.
    Was so rusty that when i took the rust of it left a few little holes in it so had to carefully weld them up. Is Citroen quality for you !
