    Top strut nut loose

    Yes all seems normal,just spins. Anyway iv'e ordered a new top mount and bearing FEBI brand. I will get a new shock absorber and get that changed also,as it has to come off anyway. Any idea or link to where i can buy the metal top mount from,just incase it's worn underneath?

    Top strut nut loose

    I was checking the top strut nut under the bonnet as i hear a slight noise now and then. The nut is just turning even when i put an allen key in the middle to hold it? Is it a quick fix or has the strut got to be fully removed and replaced with new parts? The other top strut nut is tight.

    Highest mileage Puma?

    I've owned my puma from new 1999,so 19 years. The mileage was 161,000 before it lost compression on one of the cylinders. I've just had another engine fitted so hopefully, it will last me a few years if I don't sell it next year.

    Puma running rough?

    Thanks Red, i hope so, I just need as much information as possible about the engine swap as it will be the garage doing it, so who better to ask than the good folks on here. I don't want to buy an engine then find out that I needed all the wiring and ecu and other bits and bobs for it to work.

    Puma running rough?

    ((MY INPUT)) As already said, any 1.7 engine itself will drop in, difference only in A/C & powersteering up.. Don't worry about ECU and wiring keep everything in its place Have your current clutch put in new engine... (personally I would keep 'gearbox' unless guaranteed low mileage on the next)...

    Puma running rough?

    Ok update, The engine is knackered,no compression on cylinder 2. I dont think its a good idea for me to waste money having it fixed as its done 160,000 and i don't know what damage has been caused. So i think my best option is to find another engine to drop in. My puma is a 1.7 Year 1999, so...
