How do you remove a petrol cap on a Ford Fiesta style car?

Answer 1

if your lock on the petrol cap is broken, there are a couple of options.

( 1) (if the key has broken inside the lock) call a locksmith and stump up the bill.

(2) (if there is no key or the key is not in the lock) Use a cross head screwdriver and put the tip inside the lock, Grab an average hammer and whack it a few times, wiggle the screwdriver until you hear lots of small plastic cracks, whack it again a few more times and hopefully the whole petrol cap should seprate from its locking flanges. simply remove the remains with a pair of pliers and a magnetic aerial thingy. Fit new cap.
