Welcome to the site, good luck with the project!

Sad times but not every one has a limitless pot to try and stop the decay.

I've the TDCi Zetec S MK2.5 and whilst not the most exciting car every, it certainly does it job well.

No worries. The Thunder was no different to any other 1.7 engine wise, even the modified Racing Puma 1.7 would have the same sump configuration I'd expect.

You could try contacting Ian G on here, he is one of the best sources of second hand spares. If it's just a leak then it may just need draining, unbolting, re-sealing and re-fitting. According to ->this post<- and some others , a gasket wasn't used there originally, only sealant. Maybe your garage d...

Hi Petarr!

Welcome.

Where are you from?

I hope that your new Puma lives up to the dream!

Have a spare HCV to hand, or some pipe so that it can be bypassed if it fails (common). General stuff like spare bulbs and fuses. Can't really comment on any of the conversion for rough terrain since I only used mine domestically but good luck, be good to see some pictures before and during the event.

that sounds like a good plan.

I've heard importing cars newer than 25 years is tricky, there were stories of people misrepresenting the age of Land Rover Defenders to try and get them over (as they looked pretty similar before and after the 25 year mark)

look forward to seeing the bright green Cougar!

Are you planning to import a LHD Puma from mainland Europe rather than a RHD?

Ok, it definitely works now

Did anything happen leading up to the issue or did it just start doing it one day?

I second getting the fault codes read and maybe live graphing to see what happens when it stalls.

No indeed not

Should work now, knock yourself out.

hello and welcome!

Good luck with the import!! Keep us updated with how you get on.

As for the sticker.. that looks like a US specific thing

The Quickco website is still showing them but when you click through to checkout it says that they are not available.

welcome back.

Any plans for the FRP? Shows etc?

welcome to our corner of the Internet. Good luck getting the parts you need.

looking great.

Welcome to the site Paul!

I updated your post title just to show you were looking for something too.

Good luck.

Hope you get the corrosion stuff sorted out so it can be back on the road!

Hope all the work goes well, top effort.

Are you doing the body respray at home? Do you think the finish will come out well?

I think they are talking about the FRP replica panels rather than the wider S1600 kit.

Haven't heard of anyone fitting a set of these for a very long time.

Welcom to the site, good luck searching for a local replacement.

welcome along to our little corner

Sounds like an exciting project

Keep us upto date with how you're getting on!

Hello and welcome to the site!

Glad to hear you're finding it useful. I think someone started an electric project once but I don't think I saw it finished.
