Can anyone tell me how to remove them an do I need to put them back on cos there not shown in the workshop. thanks lads an lasses.

the windrush (river/stream) at bourton is only 9 ins deep 99% of the time, you must have been there in the monsoon season !

Jace is spot on, they are small plastic covered thumb screws, and when I had a poor starting problem in the new year I also managed to break one. I seem to recall using pliers to loosen them, they were too tight to remove by hand. I glued back together the broken one before refitting it.

You can buy the plastic covered caps from the ford main dealers, ive just ordered some, there just ouer a quid each.The old ones will come out with pliers.But you can youse the nuts that come with the new heaters.
