Finally found what I was looking for!!! I’m trying to do the same with mine in Portugal…where did you get all the parts?? More specifically in terms of suspension, axles, and brake conversion??

Ive been doing some research to get disc brakes into my 1.7 “regular” puma, would it be easier to get the focus st170 mk1 rear axle? I know it’s the same used in the racing puma. Is there any other ford that share the same axle?? It’s been a pain in the a** to find an st170 here in Portugal

Hi there So I got myself a 1.7VCT….a while ago I was having the same problem but exactly at 5k rpm, my mechanic told me it could be the lambda, so I got a new one, funny thing, the old one was still the original lambda. After that VCT was working perfectly and no rattling at 5k, pushed to 6,5k...

Hi….I have the same problem but only when I push it to 6k rpm, sounds like a can being crush, once the needle hit 6k precisely, that sounds comes for a couple seconds then it goes away…. Any thoughts or advice of what it could be?? Also I notice when I start the car(cold), when I step on the...

Hi, so I have the same problem with my headlights, thing is I already polished on the outside and improved a lot, but still yellowish and from what I can tell it’s on the inside, problem is I don’t know exactly how to separate the black plastic so I can polish on the inside, used a couple of...

Update I’ll start with bad news first, central locking module isn’t working, checked the fuses, all good, fob key also working, even replaced the battery. But I can open manually, so it’s not so bad, since I have to fix this, I’ll gonna change the central locking from infrared that I have to...

Hi there So today I’m having that exact problem, already changed battery, tried reprogramming the key, blinked 5 times and still no unlocking or locking. Another problem besides that I that I can lock manually in both doors, but to unlock only in passenger door, driver’s side doesn’t unlock so...

1st-I said I just know the basics of how an engine works, I never said or assumed I know better than Ford. 2nd-I’m just telling what I’m doing doing in the car and the results that come out of it. 3rd-like I said before, I have no clue what oil the previous owner used, in my hands I used Ford...

No oil cooler....at least that I know of it, regarding the oil, I found out that 5w30, 10w30 and 10w40 are all recommended, besides I have no idea what oil the previous owner used, all I know is that after putting the 10w40 the car is developing better in terms of speed and revs, with the 5w30...

Great news....like I said in previous post, I removed the thermostat to see if the radiator was clogged, worked perfectly, max temp it went was middle of “A” then it started going down.... But what comes next is really surprising, my mechanic took it for a spin to see if everything was ok, then...

Update....just removed the thermostat to see if I bought a faulty one, so far so good, no pressure in the radiator hose and I’m feeling water going through and getting hot....gauge is at middle M and nothing bursted About the ignition leads, we just noticed today that one of them is wrong, I...

It’s just me and my mechanic that’s working on the puma, I just understand the basics of how an engine works, and it’s the first puma my mechanic is working, it’s a project between us...but we are narrow it down where the vct problem is. Yesterday got another problem....temp gauge was getting...

Hi there I bought a 1.7 vct couple months ago, it’s not in mint condition on the exterior, but in terms of engine looks almost like new....but I came across a small problem and even my mechanic is trying to figure out was going wrong. About 2weeks after buying the car e decided to do oil change...
