Ford Engineers / Machanics

Is there ford mechanic/engineer out there/on here?

Whilst giving my car (mondeo 2.2 tdci st 56 reg ) a service, I went to change my filter, and it was tight as a nun's

Then this happened

The plastic filter cap has a plastic nut, which cracked and leaked out oil. Managed to get the old one off ( had to use a hammer and chisel as the plastic nut 35mm just fell apart )

Think fords must have used an air gun to do it up.

Can these be bought on there own or is it a new oil pump..

And to top it off, when I drain the oil from the sump into my nice new bucket, it had a hole so there is oil over the drive, at least I cant move the car so the wife cant see the massive oil slick

Whoops, they are only supposed to be tightened to about 20NM or so

I work for one of the major breakdown companies and I have known these be stolen in the night, presumably by people in a similar position to you! Yes they are available on their own but you may have to order it I don`t think they are a stock item.

I now always use a big 24" x 24" deep sided tray, under the car, with the oil catch tank sitting inside, usually bought from garden centres
As i have had similar problems on an oil change !!
