Can you guys remind me? - car in drive and up to temperature...when the AC is on, does the half speed fan run all the time or just intermittently? I've checked mine twice now and the fan isn't running, but I don't know if I've just looked at the wrong time and missed it or if there is a fault...

This thread is intended as an ongoing catalogue of Puma parts that really should be Ford OEM or you'll enter a world of pain. I seem to recall rocker cover gaskets, timing belts and wishbones(?), but anyway just list what you know, (with the Part Nos is also a big help.) I'll start - #1...

This is info obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the, er, HonestJohn website. To be honest, I reckon, this stuff is more under the category of 'Vaguely Interesting' rather than being of any actual use. Still, might be useful to someone -...

I need a quick favour, can one of you check your Starter Relay (Aux Fusebox in engine bay and this relay is the second from the left when viewed from the front) and let me know how long your 'witness marks' are on your relay spade connectors? The relay spade connectors are 11mm long and my...

Anyone got any suggestions for a direct replacement better sounding horn than the factory fitted? By 'better' I'm thinking a fair bit louder and deeper tone and just a simple swap out job. I don't want to go down the air horn route again as I don't do much motorway driving these days. Even...

Ever wanted a bit more from TV car programs than the usual 'Terry from Minder and the Serious Bloke and even a little bit about cars' stuff? Yes? Here's a treat for you then. However advanced in project work you will learn from this and if you're not that familiar with this stuff then you'll...

Anyone have a part number or link for the Z shaped metal clips (2 go on each side) that fit at the top of the rear door card, where the mini side window, er, is? I've got the rear cards off for something else and have 1 metal clip missing (maybe 2?) and figure I might as well do it right when...

The title is slightly misleading, etc. I was reading this - http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/32951/ford-s-baby-cat-getting-ready-pounce which is a dull article about something that never happened, but what caught my eye was the poll on the right. What do you want most from your next car...

I'll keep this short, as the diagram above should be self explanatory, otherwise I haven't done a very good job. Right click the image, select 'Save As..' or whatever and you can keep a print in the glovebox. I'm reckoning you already know what a trolley jack and axle stand looks like and can...

Month or two back, a relative of mine got whacked by a speed camera doing 37 on a 30 mph, i.e. in a built up area, even though the road is a mile wide. She was faced with a fine and 3 points or a 4 hour 'driver awareness' course that costs around the same as the fine, and chose the latter. Good...

Do those blank button covers, next to the fog light/rear screen heater buttons, prise out from the front or do you have to take the radio out and release them from 'inside'?

I'm after any and all spare Puma relays as I want to build a test rig for these, so I need some to practise with. I have all their numbers but it's very dull stuff and basically it boils down to black (4 pin), bright green (5pin) dark green and orange. :-)

Anyone got an accurately labelled diagram/photo of the Aux Fuse Box in the engine bay at the N/S rear? The relay diagram in the 'Ford Puma Owner's Manual' shows a completely different layout of what I have (I've done a photo of mine, in case we need it) Mine looks much more like the second...

I've got some plastic bits and pieces to spray up and I haven't used rattle cans in a good while. I'll be needing a suitable primer, top coat and then possibly a gloss/lacquer coat. Anyone have any links to known good brands of these? Thanks.

yes

I'm not personally a big fan of these, but it's always good to see at least some sort of methodology being used to test things, rather than the usual 'guess/subjective/name you've heard of' way of going about things - http://www.fastcar.co.uk/2012/05/04/performance-car-air-filter-test/ Btw...

A tip that is quicker to do than write about. First read this about what happens if the bonnet cable snaps or jumps out of position - http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=343144#p343144 http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=343169#p343169 Likely to happen to you? Does it matter...

I'll sail straight past the obligatory cold knob gags and will make no mention of Mike Brewer in Scotland or anything silly like that. But, instead go right to the subject at hand - that Puma gear knob gets damn cold at this time of year. There are covers around, but they are thin leather...

If your 1.6 is like the 1.7 then it doesn't attach to the door cards. Underneath the seat in the front left/right corners are two U-shaped clips. These fit into two corresponding slots in the metal frame below and then you bang down on the corners with the flat of your hand on the top of the...
