    Clunking noise at low speed

    Well I am baffled, I replaced the offside front top mount and bearing, and the drop link. Still making noises at low speed. :fists: Any further ideas? Thanks, David

    Clunking noise at low speed

    I wimped out and had the front bearing replaced by my local Tyre World in Kenilworth who charged £185 which wasn't too bad. The did say getting the old bearing out was indeed a PITA! Still clunking - the guy at Tyre World said replace drop link ('cos it's easy), but I reckon it must be the top...

    Clunking noise at low speed

    I replaced both drive shafts and the problem is still there. Maybe rumbling is an alternative description if that helps. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what the problem might be? I'm baffled :-( David

    Wheel caps

    My 1.7 Puma (MY2000) has the 9 spoke wheels for which the caps are FINIS 1064115 (98AB1000AA). Will FINIS 1134286 (2M511000AA) also fit these wheels or not? Does anyone know of any suitable after-market parts that fit? Thanks David

    Incorrect Front Hub Torque Setting

    The Torque setting for the Front Hub nut is shown as 290nM in the "Puma torque settings and general info" thread. This is correct for the FRP, but not the regular 1.7 VCT for which the correct torque is 270nM (199 lb ft) David

    Better Wheel Centre Caps

    To fit the 9 spoke 6J x 15 wheels (MY2000 1.7 VCT). The original FoMoCo ones always seem to go manky after a while and £28 for a set every year or so doesn't sound great (if they are even available any more). Are there any better ones to be found?

    Clunking noise at low speed

    Do you have a torque wrench that goes up to 199 lb ft. (270nm)? Mine only goes up to 110 lb ft.

    Clunking noise at low speed

    I've ordered a pair of drive shafts from J&R. I removed the OS drive shaft this afternoon. The inner CV of that was not in the best condition, but it appears that it is the NS inner CV that's the source of the noise. The annoying thing was I needed to buy an impact wrench to undo one of the...

    Clunking noise at low speed

    The noise appears to be coming from front off-side, and is more noticeable after a driving a mile or so. We took it to the stealership who had it for a couple of days and eventually did find a fault which was a sub-frame bolt that had worked loose ( :shock: )! So they torqued it back up, and...

    Puma 1.7VCT stalling

    OK guys, I replaced the Idle Control Valve. Car no longer stalls :) But when I pull up at a junction the idle initially sits around 1700rpm for about 20 secs (guessing) and only then drops to 750 or so. Any ideas of how to fix, or should I just call this a day? David

    Puma 1.7VCT stalling

    When pulling up at a junction revs drop to 500 - this is when it's likely to stall. After about ten seconds or so, revs pick up to 750. Is this still suggesting the IACV? If so I guess I need to replace it, or ... If so what brands to go for (or to avoid)? There's lots out there: Intermotor...
