Hiya, many thanks-both of his mirrors have been broken so it would be less expensive to fit manual mirrors as oppoased to electric. The cheapest electric I've seen so far was 50.00, which would mean at least 100.00 just on mirrors. He plans to replace his car in 12 months' time , so I feel that...

Hello, It's my nephew Joseph's Puma again. Recently had the problem with the brake lights staying permanently on, then it went to them not coming on at all. Fault traced to the switch under the brake pedal, which I repalced and all problems cured-at least, initially. Now, there's a recurring...

Thank you for the information which is very helpful. OBD tools are expensive so I wanted to check things out before spending a lot of money and gambling on things. Now I am much better informed. Best wishes

I own a 1962 Morris Minor, but do repairs and service on the cars of my Niece and Nephews etc. My nephew, has a 1997, 1.7 Ford Puma, manual, petrol, a recent acquisition. I have encountered OBD whilst working on the Puma in the last few months and have read up and researched as much as I can...

Hi I'm thinking of getting a diagnostic kit for my nephew's Puma (1.7 petrol manual 1997). I've. seen software that is designed to load on to a laptop and several types of cables. My questions are: Is Joe's Puma OBD 1 or 2? What cable should I get to connect to the in car diagnostic module...

Hi Thanks to the advice I recently received, today I managed to fit a new JVC radio/cd/MP3 player to my nephew's puma. It's in, and blasting out something shocking thru' the 4 speakers. Also, I've fitted the 2 new speakers into the parcel shelf-as per the current fashion, and after reinforcing...

Hi, yes it was all OK before the new seat went in.

I've had to replace the passenger seat on my nephew's Puma (1997, 1.7 petrol, manual)-how it got broken ....something to do with a new girlfriend and , in-car entertainment, apparently. The seat went in OK, but the yellow wiring that connects to the yellow connector that comes up from the...

Hi, many thanks indeed for all your help, very useful information that is sure to save hours of uneccessary work and fumbling around. Fabulous! John

Hello, Hi and thanks for your reply. I don't think he realises that there's 4 in the car already-he's always spoken about just having the front 2! Apparently, he's got 2 speakers that are to go into the parcel shelf, and the spaces have to be cut out with a fretsaw. I don't think he will want...

My nephew wants a new CD/MP3/Radio for his puma. I've found a kit, including Ford removal tool, that will do the lot..... " Ford Puma Replacement JVC Car CD Tuner/Radio/Stereo NEW Great CD/MP3 Player Radio+Full Fitting Kit+Ipod Connect " However....he wants an extra 2 speakers to go in the...

Hi, Just finished the job, which without your guidance I couldn't have done. When i found the coil pack it was straightforward job thereafter, but finding it was the key-thank you again. The new sensor hasn't, after all, cured the problem. I checked all the wiring whilst I was doing the job and...

Hi, the temp gauge goes straight to the red when the auxiliary ignition is switched on-the engine not running. It's like the reading one gets from a full fuel tank. It's stuck on red all the time. Obviouly a false reading we've had for some time, was told it was the sensor. Many thanks for...
