Cheeky little update on this... Full conversion is complete. Useful info for anyone searching for this in the future: *Everything is a straight swap and just bolts on *The rears are slightly more tricky. The backing plate for the drum is riveted on to the beam as well as bolted so needs to...

Bit more advice if i may guys.. Re the rears, i need to sort the rear bearings for the mot next week which from a cost perspective has taken me back to whipping off the whole larger rear drum / bearing assembly from the doner car as they are in fair nick and bearings are sound. Obviously i need...

Changed the transponder over and it all works as it should! Thanks again for the help!

Excellent news cheers for that fellas! If it will all just swap over then i will refurb and paint up the larger calipers before fitting as well! :)

I have a brand new set of discs / pads and used calipers from a late model Puma. My car is a 99 early model Puma with the smaller Discs... To swap over to the slightly larger late model brakes can i get away with just changing the calipers / carriers or am i going to need the hubs as well? To...

Ahhh..... that makes a lot of sense as the answer is no i did not! I have managed to get the immobiliser deactivated by using the old fob with the key. Although that only worked after disconnecting battery and fob battery to reset everything! At least i got the car home. Tomorrow i will have...

I have just received a new 3 button fob which i recoded using the guide and presto my remote central locking now works! However the imobiliser is now not recognising the coded part of the key and the damn car wont start... everything i have read suggests the fob is not related as the imobiliser...

Cheers slaylian, that was pretty much what I expected to hear... I am only looking at the minimum 30/40 drop in an effort to preserve some semblance of ride quality! TBH I am not looking for any reduction in the ride height but for the money it may be worth it...

Has anyone tried these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sport-Suspension-lowering-kit-Springs-Shocks-Ford-Puma-ECT-1997-2003-/360668621339?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord%7CModel%3APuma&hash=item53f9866a1b For £200 they appear to be pretty good value and TUV certified. I...

Subframes from a Mk3/3.5 fiesta are whats needed mate (the Ugly one). I had some in my old Puma with 90's spec Recaro's fitted, but like an idiot sold them on when the Puma went. I now have another Puma so regretting the decision MUCH! They do pop up on ebay from time to time, alternatively try...

Ok cheers Red. Just wanted to confirm I am not being an idiot (although still a possibility!) I have tried it slow and as fast as I can possibly turn the key, I am going to try and unplug the loom in footwell at the weekend to reset the sender unit and see if that works, If I can at least get...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but seems more prudent than starting a new one! I am having issues getting the system in to the re-programme mode. I have tried BOTH the 3 button methods quoted but the car wont go in to the programme mode to re-programme the buttons on the fob. Just to be...

Bargain indeed Ben! Gutted tbh but with the angle of my drive way it just isn't going to happen! Not even at max ride height! :cry: was going to say screw it and just park on the road but not the most practical of plans! Hopefully Steavie will be able to use as the coilover gods intended!!

Cheers Steavie, payment recieved and touched base with Rob, collecting on Wed eve if all goes to plan!

This is very true! I will do :ok:
