I bought this silver rear bumper with the intention of spraying it to match my MSB car but since found an MSB bumper so this is surplus to requirements. You'll see it has original parking sensors fitted. It's not perfect but is usable and would look better after a polish. I've stolen the fog...

Anyone know where I can get a throttle cable for a 1.7? FINIS 1006261. Or is there a workable parts bin alternative?

Anyone on here? Keep seeing it around, maybe you/it want to make friends with mine (although it's laid up in Bristol at the moment).

Pranged my Puma today. There are a couple of reasonably priced bumpers on ebay (wrong colour of course). If anyone's got an MSB rear bumper that would save me an awful lot of ballache! Cash waiting and may be able to collect depending on location. Thanks George

Has anyone looked under the rear washer jet? Do you know what shape and size the mounting hole is? Am thinking of adding a 'shark fin' DAB antenna to the roof, and I'm wondering if I can somehow use this feature. (Don't quite know what I'll do with the existing washer jet, mind)

The other day I noticed there's a good 4" of movement between the headliner where it naturally sits and the actual roof skin. In other words if you put your hand on the middle of the headliner and push upwards, it'll go up at least 4". The fabric is still attached to the 'biscuit' just fine...

According to the spare part list the number for this crank damper is 1087320. I've done my usual searches around to find a replacement but they've all come up blank (or wrong part). Does anyone know of a source for this? Mine isn't looking too healthy. To be expected I suppose but I'd rather...

How do I get the inlet cam pulley off? I've taken the torx cap off. Should it just pull off? (I'm changing the seal in case you're wondering why) Thanks

My new Bilsteins are fitted but I've got this gap between the upper top mount and the body. Is that correct? Should there be fresh air under the upper top mount like this?

I'm in the process of swapping my front subframe because rust has got into the offside front lower bit. I decided to take the Hammer of Truth to the old one which has revealed some serious rot - definitely an MoT fail. Anyway I'm mainly posting this because I've not seen anyone else's Puma rust...

I'm having trouble sealing this Toyo manifold. I've been getting fumes in the cabin at no/low speed but it goes away once you're travelling. Having stripped things down today I can see it's coming out from the bottom of the head/manifold join. I've bought two gaskets as I'm thinking that...

I am considering selling mine to finance a Citroen CX project... It is a 2001 Y 1.7 Lux in medium steel blue. Just under 80,000 miles. Loads and loads of history. In my time with it I've had the bodywork sorted which cost me £2k. That was for new sills, rear arch repair and new front wings...

I've inherited a 900. Sadly not a cool 80s one but a 1996 900 cabriolet. It's got no MoT and has been standing a while but it's been looked after so I think with a bit of gentle recomissioning it should be good to go. Only 72k miles, one lady owner! Not generally a fan of convertibles but the...

Has anyone found a direct replacement for the cam belt tensioner wheel & bearing? I'm reluctant to replace the whole spring/tensioner assembly at ~£60 when it's only the wheel and bearing that are subject to wear - assuming the spring operates in its elastic region, which it must do. I can...

Did a load of work to my fuel tank recently so I was pretty alarmed to see a puddle under the car yesterday. Turned out to be the rubber filler pipe which goes from the plastic filler neck to the tank. Having had the pipe off a few times I knew it was ropey as it would leave my hands...

Free lower arm, left hand side. It is a Motaquip part, less than 2 years old and has done less than 5000 miles. I've replaced the pair hence it's going to the tip if no-one claims it. I have right hand as well but the ball joint boot has split. You're welcome to take both. Might help to get...

Any tips for getting this out? Last resort is grind head off and lever out but this runs risk of damaging sensor...

Ok so I'm changing water pump as it's dripping slightly. I can see the old one was fitted with silicone goo but my instinct is saying no silicone because the paper gasket face seems quite 'wide', ie no need for it. What do you guys think?

OK so a few questions following a bit of diving into the rabbit hole of camshaft upgrades: - If I fit a performance camshaft (eg Newman cams fast road/stage 2) do I need new pulleys or will it work with std VCT system? - If it needs new pulleys can I use something from standard Ford parts bin...

Looking for used camshafts that are a performance upgrade but not full-on race cams. They seem to be like hen's teeth so I'm not in a hurry (Currently got a std 1.7 setup)
