Hello, I was just wondering if you could help me. Got Ford Puma R reg. Key fob problem. Opened key to replace batteries and a glass "thing" fell out. Its about 25mm long, 3 to 4mm thick, made of glass and i can see something like a copper wire spun around like a transformer or similar, plus a...

lol thats what i thought :lol: thats why i assumed not for you :ok:

Apart from that i just found out :evil: from my gorgeous partner that the ball joint cover should be ok MOTwise as long as there is no play on the joint it self!!!! I can only check this weekend though because i work till 18:00 (home by 19:00ish) too late to start jacking car up and so!!

Aaaaaaaah guys (topmansparkie+Ginger Tom) :grin: you make me feel weak (sentimentally) :oops: !!!! I cant thank you enough and in exchange i can offer DIY work at your place!!!! I can fit carpets, laminate floor, wallpapering, house electrics -not for you i assume, topmansparkie :-) ...

Thanx YOG, i managed to find one that i can borrow from a friend of a friend of a friend lol. Sadly i got no picture taking machine because its a lot better to understand while looking at the pictures at the same time (stops you using grey matter trying to imagine things :lol: ). Thank you all...

Yo sparkie my guru thanks again 8-) . I just hope i wont damage the ball joint by hammering it down. Using the common sense i got left, i would say the only thing that holds it up (after wheel is off and standing on axle stands) is the drive shaft(?) By hammering on the ball joint will the...

:grin: Topmansparkie :grin: i like your location lol. Ok, thank you very much for the reply!! I am not trying to be obnoxious :roll: but my actual question is still not answered :wink: How can i drop the ball joint with as less effort as possible (or what is the easiest way of doing it???)

Hi Ian and thanks for the promt reply :-) . No, the cover is not missing, its just split and the joint looks clean! my question is actually if and how can i just drop the joint without having to dismantle the suspension (wishbone etc.) to replace the cover :?: :?: . Would you please be able to...

Hi there, the subject describes what my partner got from the MOT advisory letter. I cant find anything like it on the web so i assume it must be the lower ball joint. Can i just undo the torx bolt and pull down the ball joint to replace the rubber cover or do i need to work on the wishbone as...
