Would Physics or Further Maths be more useful for A Mech Eng degree?

Which A level would be more useful for the degree? I'd take four mechanics modules if I did further Maths.
Both are useful, but many universities stipulate that you must have physics for entry, whereas the same isn't true of further maths.
Physics is a requirement along with Maths at any good university. There's no choice, but Further Maths will help a lot.

Thing is I can only do one, and it has to be done in the space of the next 12 months. I know it won't be easy, but if I put in 4 hours of Physics a day, every day, I could do it right?
I'd say Further Maths because the mechanics modules cover some things which are done in physics. Whereas, nothing in physics covers stuff done in FM.
