Nice to see another 2 Pumas at the Motorist Ford Day today.

Hi, I have the near-side door and tailgate under a trap in the back garden, you are welcome to them but they are not perfect. I can send some more pics. I have a rusty spare wheel which might be too far gone.

Not sure which bit you mean?

No, sorry, don't have one of those.

Took a while to find it but I knew I had an ashtray somewhere.

Sure no problem. I found out on here there are 2 kinds, I inset the picture of the number of connectors under the bonnet. Send me a message with your address and I will post it.

The door/hatchback are from a pacific green car. I haven't pictured the ashtray but I will look around my garage. I might have one.

If you see anything in the pictures you need let me know before it goes to the tip. I am in South Leeds for free collection, if I need to post it I will ask you to pay for postage. There are some other odds and ends too.

Well that took a while but I enjoyed the drive home from the Test Centre. I am hoping the weather cheers up a bit so I can go out for a drive. :)

I tried to get a new one from a donor car, both cars had been modified under the back seat for additional access. I found that the fuel pipe from the pump to the fuel filter was different. There might be a trick to it but I couldn't get the white plastic connector out of the top of my fuel pump...

Thank you, much appreciated. The suspension was at the start of the restoration which was a long time ago now. I found a picture where it was touching but at around the same time I have pictures where the front was on axle stands so I guess that would explain it?

Checking my car over as I almost ready for an MoT, hopefully. There is a gap at the top of the suspension. I took pictures when I dismantled and rebuilt but there is a gap on both sides. Any ideas?

I am very lucky to have a retired mechanic for advice. For my son's Fiesta I hammered a V into the side of the sensor, turned the chisel slightly and got it moving. The car needs to be very secure on its axle stands though. For my Puma I bought a tool which works well for me with a 3 foot power...

In South Leeds. If you can collect them, you can have them. Please have a look at the pictures.

2 bolts as I remember, all done by feel, I couldn't see them.
