Now sold.

Also, do you think anyone will be interested in this or should it be scrapped? £275 isn't much more than what I'd get scrapping it and sending the tax back, I just thought I'd see if anyone had the skill/patience/wish to sort it out as I really don't want to see her scrapped.

Nine spoke Ian. Also, you had any steel blue in lately? Still looking for front/rear bumper in good con. Cheers:)

I've a wheel cap missing! Anyone got one? Or might be interested in a shiny new set?

Job done! Ended up taking it to my mechanic (who likes work so was in on boxing day tinkering with his Bentley!). He Knocked out the old collars and put the news ones in for me. Obviously outside of that it's all pretty easy. Bearings greased to death. All going well! Just got to pop to ford...

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated! I'm off to do the job now, wish me luck!

Studied that thread in depth pre doing the job but the pictures were not working, thank you! Yeah I used a new hub nut, it's definitely not that because I was worried I had not torqued it enough, I took it to a garage tonight and he did it to 240nm for me (It turned less than 1/4 of a turn so I...

Collection from where?

She's in lovely condition! I walked past with some friends, I turned into something akin to David Attenborough. "And here... we have the lesser spotted Ford, Racing Puma."

So, to be honest there's not going to be anything particularly interesting in here! It's just going to be bog standard stuff and mainly it's a log so I can keep track of the things I want to get done. So this is the car, I bought her on the 24th of July for £700. Mechanically she seems in...

Generally when it's cold. After a short drive she starts up fine. Hmm, I will google "rocker gasket". Ahem The air filter was recently changed also!

Hi all, The Puma turns over like a dream so I imagine the battery and starter motor are in good order but it's very sluggish to actually start. Sometimes it will half start and just die and sometime it wont start at all. Pumping the gas pedal helps. Advisory on last MOT is corroded fuel...
