Yeah, I was being a bit thick there :oops: Proves how long it's been since I last used feeler gauges :roll: Thanks bedbunny.

My 1.7 is fitted with Motorcraft Platinum AYFS22PP. I’ve mislaid the owners manual for now, as well as my feeler gauges. Referring to this forums posts archive, they appear to be a pretty standard plug, but posts here are saying they should be gapped at 1.3mm? Looking on Amazon/Halfords for a...

Interesting, they do cosmetic damaged for £39 delivered. Thanks to both you and YOG.

Sorted. £37 delivered on a used Varta (new £95) Not sure where I got £43 from - wrong code battery I think. An 075 would be about 40% more.

Looking to get my 1.7 sold. Been sat in garage for years, but battery won't charge. A decent used battery, to save me £43 on a new one. Brentwood/Chelmsford area.

Last week I was diagnosed with Allergic Contact Dermatitis. Apparently contact to nickel, can be a cause. Got me wondering...

Haha! :lol: Thanks. That link is broken for me, but I got there. They list the standard model as 725 litres, and the Racing as 241? 241 sounds about right. 725 might be with the rear seats folded, and that's not a lot of litres. Your sig reminds me of what I’ll miss if I sell :-| I trust...

Looks like my Puma might need replacing with something with more luggage space, and most importantly, something that can legally tow. Trouble is, I have no numbers to compare the Puma to. Luggage capacity isn’t listed on Parkers, or anywhere else I’ve searched. It might be listed in the owners...

Some numpty swiped off my n/s mirror at 30mph, when they opened their door, whilst parked up. Mirror was looking very sorry for itself, dangling by a thread, but on further inspection, seems to have survived, apart from the lens/glass. Some link I found, seemed to suggest these mirrors were...

Bargain 8-)

My local ECP has this part number listed as a Borg, but I see they’re the same company. Anyone know the difference between these two HAAS packs? The cheaper being nearly half the price of the Borg/Beru pack, suits my poverty pockets.

So that's a BERU and there's plenty of positive feedback when you search on their coil packs. When I put my reg number into ECP it only offered the 2 packs I listed, despite your BERU having the same replacement OEM part number as the first HAAS unit I linked to (and yes, it's the same HAAS as...

They stock two. http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ford_Puma_1.7_2001/p/car-parts/ignition/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/ignition-coils/?413590221&1&979e25c2b784fe2cd1ca3a3c54008c562f67e2ff&000197...

Not a good price for my poverty wallet though :|

My engine is still running rough, even after changing the leaking manifold gasket. Engine warning light is flashing. Stevie at Performance Puma has advised me to change the 'coil pack', and not to buy used. New Ford OE is too pricey for me: £78.20 for the coils pack or double that with...

Yep, gene = generator. The bolt I had a hold of was 19mm. Steve at Performance Puma confirmed that was the crank :oops: So the tensioner pulley is to the left and further up? I couldn't get my jack high enough to get an axle stand in, so I was reluctant to stick my head underneath whilst...

Thanks for the info, trublustu. I think I'm resigned to getting Performance Puma to do the job, but I might have another go at the w/end. Where's the ICV plug located? There was a plug running under the exhaust manifold, which wasn't easy to get my fingers on.

I'm in the process of replacing the inlet manifold gasket, and I'm stumped again. Manual is telling me gene belt needs removing. So I've jacked the car up, removed the drive pulley cover, via the r/h front wheel arch, but how do I break the tension on the pulley nut? I go in an anti-clockwise...

Thanks CherryV 8-) I'm not entirely sure it's necessary to remove it, to get the job done, we'll see...

I'm in the process of replacing the inlet manifold gasket. Following the workshop manual instructions, I need to detach the accelerator cable first. It shows a not very detailed drawing with the instructions: 1. Pull off the clip 2. Twist the cable out of the bracket. But I can't identify the...
