Cheers YOG. I'll give it a try.

I just hopped in my 1.4L Puma for a short trip round to my local recysling centre, and it refused to start. It hasn't been used for the last couple of weeks, but up until then has behave impecably since i bought it 18months ago. When i attempt to start it the needles on fuel and temperature...

cheers red, i'll give him a go.

I managed to get some of the proper ford touch up stuff from my local dealership earlier this week, picked up a few nice small artist paint brushes and then some paint thinner to clean them afterwards. I'll probably have a go at it on Monday (weather permitting) and will pop up some before and...

cheers red that looks very promising. I'm a bit confused though, i have managed to established, from other threads that the chips come in different colours (red or blue), but had no idea about different shapes. Sounds like an odd question but I don't suppose you know whether i need an "EARLY...

When i bought my puma it came with all 3 keys (remote, normal and the little one for opening doors only). However 2 of the buttons on the remote key have worn out, so i want to replace it. I am trying to get hold of a new 3 button remote key, with a red chip (my normal key has a small bit of...

The WD40 seems to have done the trick to stop the horrible creaking, and the new struts mean the boot is now opening completely, in a sensible amount of time. The flip side to this is that now the boot is opening faster, when it is raining more water runs into the boot, but that can be remedied...

thanks for the link haGGard. i'll try WD40 first then, see if i still feel like i need some new gas struts.

cheers e3silversurfer, i'm sure i've got some WD40 somewhere, i'm just gonna have to try and avoid getting it on my nice clean paintwork.

I did this fix on Monday, and it works beautifully. Just a note on grommet sizes. I originally bought some from Maplin with a 3mm internal diameter. I couldn't get them on for the life of me and if i had managed to get them over, they would have been a nightmare to get back off again. I then...

cheers Dal, i'll try tightening them up when i get home, if i can find the right size spanner. If i need to replace them do you have any idea how much it would cost? or where i could get some replacements from? thanks.

Hi guys and gals, I have had my new puma for just under a week, and am loving it so far. However there is one thing which is really concerning me, which i would like to try and sort out. When i open the boot it makes a really loud creaking noise. Also once the boot is about 75% open it takes...

cheers i just spotted the Ford touch up pens on http://www.allenford.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. I'll be going for those rather than the Halfords ones then. Are they easy to use, to give good results?? i'm a complete novice. Thankfully none of the chips goes to the...

I'm looking to tidy up the body work on my new puma, which has a number of stone chips on the bonet and both doors. They look like they are too big for products like T-Cut Scratch Remover and Meguiars Scratch X to hide. I have noticed Halfords do a range on products specifically for this...

I paid a bit more than market value for it, but it is such wonderfull condition i didn't think twice. I'll probably be leaving it relatively original, with the exception of replacing the bulbs with the suggested halfordes super bright ones, and switching out the stereo for something with an aux...

Hi thought i would intorduce myself as I have just put down a deposit on a T reg Metallic Silver 1.4 Puma, i get to pick it up after its been serviced, on friday or saturday. Its in beautiful condition and has only done 31,000 miles. I had to go with a 1.4 for insurance costs, haing only passed...
