My car is once again fooked but this time no friendly dubber came to the rescue it was bloody chucking it down and im talking flash flood weather. Car is now sat outside some sushi bar feeling sorry for itself. I tried the whole cleaning the dizzy cap and spraying it with wd40 but then (i know pathetic) I couldnt work out how to refit the dizzy cap it was pissing it down and I jus couldnt get the two clips (engine side and grille side) to clip the cap can anyone help with info on this I know its a bloody pathetic thing to ask for info on but I must be doin somethin wrong.

if it helps, I just changed my dizzy cap...
My mate helped me as I am a bit rusty on the turning spanners bit, but he used a screwdriver to lever them on, esp the back one...
Hope that helps!!!!

push hard on the part of the clip where it curves, it will straighten out and clip over the cap. (there are two recessed bits to aim for) Requires some force, as it needs to form a strong seal on the cap.

It's not that hard to put the dizzy back on.

its ok mate I struggled with mine for a while, best way is to squeeze the curve with your thumb, then try and flick up the end on the cap with a smal flat bladed screw driver.
