    Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement advice

    Done my drums/bearings again, once down to just drum and shells started by tapping out the back shell out from the front (which is deeper in). A curved corner helps getting a large flat sided screw driver on it. I kept turning the drum 90 degrees using the studs as a guide, drum against my knee...

    Throttle body... how to clean?

    HI All Just a word of warning with the high pressure power steering tubes in which the pressure switch sits right under the front of the car! The metal tubes rust like hell over years and messing with the switch could start a leak. But bypassing the switch wires could mean the pressure...

    LED + DRL make-over

    That is the sort of wiring you would need, sounds like a good idea. beats driving round like a sitting duck, and brings lighting into the 21st century :grin: Good luck with that, better do it soon, these dark days. Looks like this:

    LED + DRL make-over

    Hi Daylight driving lights should at least have a switch to knock them off at night, new cars do it automatically of course. But what I wanted to say is the best place for them is in the headlight unit itself, high up about 10cm strips of LED lights (one per side) put into one of the...

    Another MGF stable mate

    BTW You can see my Puma on here if you look for 'LUCAS SQ8 SPOTS' a Melina 1.7 only 76k for £550 MOT on the road 2 years ago. Had belts and clutch done to be on the safe side, that's all. I patched rear arches them up with filler but a proper job is needed. I also had a S reg escort that was the...

    Another MGF stable mate

    Hi Very true, the penny will drop one day soon and every one will want one. Pretty rust free but I will do the back half of the sills next year, have them ready from Mike Stuar, doing it myself as it is only plug welds. Thinking of doing the Puma rear arches as well, not that hard with care...

    Another MGF stable mate

    Hi You can't beat the late 90's for great British design and engineering, making Fun cars still around today for peanuts? Both have VVC/VTC engines but the MGF beats my Puma hands down for all round performance, still the Puma 1.7 is great as well. Both great on petrol. Pity I end up paying...

    High revs on first cold start and not warming up.

    Hi Long shot but it may be as simple as the thermostat sticking open and the rest of the system trying to sort it out. One up to temperature no problems? Just the colder weather making it more important now. Orion

    LUCAS SQ8 SPOTS

    Having worked at Lucas in the day and always fitted SQ8's to what are now classic cars thought I would give my puma a much needed legal boost to it's lighting. I think you will agree they suit it! Don't like massive round lights nor dead square ones. Much more vintage as the puma slips in the...

    Puma seats on other Fords

    Hi You may have read I stripped KA sport seats to cover my Puma standard seats, the Puma base's are deeper and my drivers seat had a height adjustment motor/switch in it. You will find you sit higher than your simpler KA seats with adjustment to go even higher! Hope your not too tall. You...
