Happened to me once. Left the keys inside the car when I had disconnected the battery. I reconnected the battery and click, the doors had locked. My car keys had my house keys attached to them, so I was really locked out! I got a wire coat hanger and used it to open the passenger side door...

Thanks seg, I had a look at that. According to my OBD2 reader, the heating element of the lambda sensor isn't working. I'm going to replace the lambda sensor, but I have a few questions. Is it true there's only a single Lambda sensor in the earlier Puma's, i.e. mine? Also, where is it...

Hi, Driving home today my puma suddenly started stuttering and hesitating, when in gear it would suddenly start to slow down (like engine braking). By the time I got home it didn't work. I ran a diagnostic on it via the OBD2 port, and it indicated P0132 - O2 Oxygen Sensor Circuit High Voltage...

The simplest place would be from the sidelights.

its possible...all pumas are obd2 compliant. mines 1998 and it works fine. you just need the right adapter.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I'm certain the headlight numbers are the same. Never had a problem driving at night in European though.

You apparently need two breathalysers when driving in France. Rules differ from country to country, as well as how strongly theyre observed. French police have a penchant for pulling over cars with UK licence plates for "random" checks, especially around Calais and Dunkirk....ungrateful...

Yes, as long as the programmed key isn't a clone of the first.

You should be able to tell just by looking at the key. The key has 6 "points", the height of each is either 1-4.

Is the 1.4 lower gearbox mount the same as the 1.7 one? They look the same. Anyone know the ford part number for them? Thanks.

As the title says, is it possible? I mean this one. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/FORD-FIESTA-MK6-HEATER-CONTROL-PANEL-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/PAsAAMXQXWhRGQOt/$T2eC16JHJG8E9nyfmIDKBRGQOs7IP!~~60_12.JPG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It looks similar apart from the extra positions for...

Not to mention places like Russia...where they're pretty much a necessity for insurance claims. I agree it'll soon become the norm in the UK too. A lot of them are very bulky and distracting though. Try to get one without a screen.

Anyone know a place that will sell me around a litre of paint that 's a good match? Not in spraycans. Think I'll finally get around to doing the arches

Hi, I feel like upgrading my sound system. I'm happy with the standard set up, except that there's no bass. Any time I play a sound with heavy bass, it sounds crap. Would I need to buy an amplifier as well or can I get away with just a woofer to stick in my boot? I'd appreciate any...
