I have a R reg Peugeot 406 LX TD, and have noticed that the Oil could do with
a top up. I've located the Filler Cap but the bugger won't budge. Does it
twist off, or will I have to lever it with a screwdriver or something? As
normal the manual ain't much help.

It's a twist off. Use a big pair of pliers or pipe grips to increase your
torque.

Justin unbuttoned Clothilde's tight blouse and her breasts fell out. He
picked them up and put them back in again.
"Thank you," said Clothilde, polite even in passion. "I'm always losing
them."

Thats Malc, which way though, clockwise, or anti-clockwise?
