How do I remove the oil filler cap on a W reg 1.3 ford fiesta?

The cap is bright yellow, but the neck below has 2 pipes going into it and I'm not sure what bits supposed to come off!

The yellow bit is thin with nothing to grip on to for pulling?/unscrewing?

If I pull the whole lot God knows what will happen to the pipes!

HELP PLEASE!!!!

im having the exact same problem, except mines a p reg, and it doesnt even look like it can unscrew or anything, the only way i see it coming off is if i pull the pipes and stuff off!
if you sorted yours could you please tell me how you did it please.
Thanks. Hannah

Hi Kelly, sounds familiar! you need to get a cloth or old towel , wrap it around the cap, grab the cap with both hands and pull and twist at the same time!!!! be careful you dont throw it through the bonnet when it comes off and mind your knuckles!! It will be VERY stiff, you may have to ask for assistance. I may be an idea to pop along to your dealer and buy a new one just in case it falls to bits. They do sometimes fall apart, so safe not sorry!! A last note, dont break your nails !! Good luck.
