Can you guys remind me? - car in drive and up to temperature...when the AC is on, does the half speed fan run all the time or just intermittently? I've checked mine twice now and the fan isn't running, but I don't know if I've just looked at the wrong time and missed it or if there is a fault...

wtf?

It's not ideal, but as you can see for yourself it's right on the border of the red/green zones. That means bad, but not really, really bad. Damned if I'd do that job myself, but if the handling was genuinely being affected and the cost was not too great, then I might well get someone in to do...

I watched this last week on YT and, er, again today. Seems like the perfect car program to me and although I think this fixing on location is a really great idea, I just wonder how many people he's going to find who have a garage as big as that one. One thing that I did learn that I hadn't...

I just plugged mine in and it worked - https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=330539#p330539 On my XP Netbook I notice I have 3 different OBDII programs that worked OK with it, but I ended up using Torque Pro (doesn't need a Bluetooth reader) on one of my tablets for this, simply because...

Indeed.* I seem to recall someone called 'Seven of Nine' with some fondness. Make it so. *SG1 plug.

Yep, I do. It's good to see the level of detail and care going into this already. If the rest of the project is going to be to this standard, as I'm sure it will be, then this Puma is going to be quite something when it's all done. We like. :-)

I can't see this is important, but it is news and has only just been decided - Ford will no longer be selling the Fiesta, Focus, CMax(?) and 2 other models in the USA.

Unless you really are part of The Borg, I'm sure your colleagues wouldn't mind you using the word 'I' in your forum posts here, er, like everyone else. :-)

Good, just the 'new' starter to go (£25) and you're good to go.

Just by elimination of other variables you can tell this is probably the fuel filter. The noise was behind and there's not much engine stopping stuff behind you . It could have been the fuel pump, except that it worked the following day, etc. No, fuel filter and and a 'bung' of water in the...

No problem, glad you got it sorted. :-)

It won't fix the starting problem. The transponder in the key is non-volatile memory i.e. ROM and needs no power (like a phone SIM card). The key battery is only needed for the door remote side, which is volatile memory, i.e. RAM and needs power to function. As for your starting, I'll keep this...

Yeah, I bought a couple of good condition secondhand prop alloys for good low money couple of years back, just for that reason. One is now the spare and the other really is a spare. I could see a potential situation where I'd get a bent alloy, put on the stainless steel spare (with its speed...

Well, it's certainly the best yellow Puma version.
