Hi Having sorted my spare keys dilemma, I now have found that there seems to be an intermittant fault with the locking. It doesn't appear to be anything to do with the new keys I've now got, but sometimes when I lock the car, it won't unlock-not remotely or automtically with either the 2 new...

My bonnet seems to close ok too...maybe your warning light refers to this problem, I think somone told me there was a sensor under the bonnet too...my warning light also stays on, but I think that is related to the boot in my case...

Hi Thanks, have tried lubricant on both doors & boot-no joy. Has anyone tried taking off door panel & looking at a lock? Is the lock a sealed unit?

Thanks for bulb suggestion, will try. Are they easy to fit? Re: keys. They haev worked for a year!

Hi Last week I locked my Puma,as usual, with the remote (infrared) but when I tried to unlock the car later, no joy. Tried using the key manually-nothing, neither would it work from the passenger side (although I may have been told this before when I bought the car second hand last year-can't...

Yes, really pleased, all thanks to you guys...now just got to get an new oil sump fitted this weekend...mmm

Err...sorry(having read my thread) the sump I have seen on ebay is actually for a Puma, but I just wondered if I can also check out Fiesta sumps.

Putting sealant around 'my' grommet fixed the leak in my passenger footwell.

Reasonable price for tyres, you mean?

Quick update: took my Puma to Ford who said they would do the specific gravity test for free...was a bit surprised when I had to book it in & they said it would take an hour, but they added that they would look it over as well...I must have looked suspicious 'cos he added, 'There's no charge!'...

Wow! Fantastic, very useful info...my Dad/chief mechanic says, 'Thanks, very impressive' :-))

Cheers for the swift response guys! Both useful suggestions that I will act on. Happy New Year!

Thinking I should put some antifreeze into the radiator as the projected forecast is pretty chilly over the next few days & don't know, being a new owner, if any has been put into my little car recently. Wondered if any of you could give advice as to where it is best to add it, other than the...

I had the cam belt done recently...got the guy to do the alt belt at the same time...£200. He commented on the fact that some parts are reasonably priced on the Puma 'cos you can use Fiesta parts...sometimes they're not...think the cam belt kit fell into the latter category...something about...
