http://imgur.com/a/F6YJO" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is a link to an album with photos! The car is currently located in Bolton. Hi all, so sadly my Puma has been quoted £300 for welding (and to tighten the handbrake up) to get it through its MOT and well, I've been...

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

Hello folks, I hope you are all well! Looking for some advice on this. Changed my rear bearing a couple of months ago and it's gone again. Now, for fear of not being able to get the new ones in I didn't put in new collars, I just slotted the new bearings into the old collars, which may or...

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...

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...

So I'm looking to get new suspension. I want it to be lowered ideally. I can't really drop £450 on coilies so was thinking of something like... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-PUMA-ECT-SHOCK-ABSORBERS-FRONT-REAR-/130919537517?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e7b699b6d"...

I know from experience than an entire interior of a vectra fits in a vectra (I am talking about picking up an entire interior with your interior already in haha). So yes, can it be done in the puma? Cheers Ash

You know that TG episode where Jeremy manages to replace a light bulb in the back of a Porsche, well that's exactly how I feel right now. Replacing a silencer is by FAR the most mechanical thing I have ever done in my life, and you know it, it's a damn good job too :D. She feels much more...

So this is the plan for the weekend. Silencer Fuel filter Oil Filter + oil change Spark plugs. I've got another £50 to spend. The front right suspension needs doing but then I'd like to do it all round. The rear bushes got done in February so I was thinking I could do the front bushes in...

So, I plan on doing my first major thing (well, it's major to me!) this weekend in removing the silencer and changing the oil, filter and fuel filter. I've found the guide for the oil/fuel filter and change so I'm good there. The silencer on there is the original one and so my understanding is...

Hi all, first question. Would someone be good enough to tell me the colour of my car? 2nd question! Apparently the key code should be in the logbook somewhere along with the radio code. The radio code is in there scribbled on the back of an envelope and there is no sign of a key code. I...

So, I have my phone mounted on the extreme lower right hand side of the windscreen since it's got my satnav and all sorts on it. I'm sure there's a way you could wire it in properly but that's beyond my technical capabilities so I was wondering how simple or not it would be to basically take a...

So I was looking at getting most of my stuff from Euro Car Parts but I've been looking on Ebay and the parts seem to be a lot cheaper on there, are they worth it? For example, Euro Car Parts currently has the timing belt kit on sale for £80 and the water pump for £23 or so but on Ebay there are...

I was going to pick up one of the £40 backboxes from Euro Car Parts as mine really does need doing (Last owner neglected her!). My Nieces' boyfriend just changed the exhaust on his Fiesta and took off this one. I swapped him for a Puma gear knob I got from a scrapyard yesterday haha. I was...

So the Puma had a bit of a rattle on cobbles or when it hit a bump. Prodding my head underneath has let of to what I believe is the heat shield over the cat. Now next week I'll be putting her on axle stands to change the silencer (please god let that go ok!) so I thought I'd use the chance to...

Hi folk, me again! Two electrical issues I've got. The driver's side wing mirror motor doesn't work. It wont let me adjust it. Is this a common thing? Would it need a new mirror or is it the motor/dodgy connection somewhere? Also, the passenger electric window goes up fine but gets stuck...

Hi folks, couple of questions it that's ok. Also, thanks you from the bottom of my heart for being so good and nice to someone who knows as little as me! This is a great community you've got and I look forward to one day being able to contribute haha. So first question. Can anyone tell me what...

Hi all, First problem on the new Puma (Boy it's going to be expensive to get her into shape) the radiator fan doesn't appear to be working. It might just not have hit the appropriate temperature but when I got out from my spin I noticed the engine was very hot and the radiator fan was not...

So I've just bought a Puma, and so far I'm very impressed. It handles like a bit of a dream. I only paid £600 and was fully expecting to have to spend a good amount extra to get it in shape. To be honest, I probably could have found one in similar condition on Ebay but well, I like this one and...
