thanks for the info oilburner! the aircon works fine apart from now and again a small amount of water comes out of the passenger footwell vent, Havn't noticed the fluid levels going down either.... the funny thing is it hasn't done it since...

is there any chance the problem could be the HCV?

The wife noticed today when she switched the Aircon on water leaking through the bottom passenger side heater vent? the Aircon lately takes its time to cool and blows quite hot before it finally cools down, even then its not what I would expect and not what you would call cold. Just like to...

Much apreciated Melinamotor for the info :thumbs: Looks like more expense on this bloody car, I'm going to name it "Money" because it eats it continously. Have to say in all the years I have been driving and I have had many fords I have never had a car with so many problems crop up one after...

a pal came round today to listen where the noise was coming from, it turns out the noise only apears when the car is under load being driven, the car also makes the noise when its in gear and I bring the revs up to 2k before lifting the clutch slightly. the noise is definitley coming from...

Well guys I fitted it this afternoon and it went straight on so I take it its the right one. the one thing thats I need help with it it still does it at 2000RPM. it doesn't do it coming down the in revs or through the gears only when accelerating up, it hits 2000RPM and makes a sound for a...

Received the new Idler Pulley this morning part No: 1139951. I just wanted to check its the right one before I strip the old one off if anyone can give me some comformation please? :ok:

Thanks for the info its much apreciated :thumbs:. I fancy doing this one myself as it doesn't look much of a problem to fit. Its had a new Aux belt a few months back following the good advice I received off this forum. I'm slowly but surely getting their doing odd jobs to this little car from...

been under the car while on ramps checking the heat shields but nothing, I finally heard it again but this time when the car was stationary being revved to 2k, it turns out its the "Idler Pully" squealing and rumbling at tickover. anyone come across this before? I dripped some oil in the front...

It could well be the CAT slayllian, just stuck it up on ramps and checked around the heat sheild near the gear linkage, checked the heat sheild around the manifold and below and can't see anything causeing any problems. My lad just came with me for a spin as his hearing is a bit better than...

Much apreciated all cheers :thumbs: checked the heat sheild at the back silencer box which is nice and sturdy, it looks like there's another up front of the exhaust which I need to check out, is there any other's that I might have missed? its wiered how it only kicks in at around 2k and not at...

the car just lately is making a noise simular to the exhaust vibrating against a tin? it always comes in around 2k and ends just over. I can only describe it as a burst lasting a couple of seconds at the most? the car doesn't do it stationary only when driving and worse through the first three...

I always find myself topping up the coolant on the Puma every week or so. when we first picked up the puma there was a leak from the hose under the Distributor which was repaired yet the car still loses water somewhere? I checked all the obviouse places and can't find any signs of water leakage...

cheers for the reply alan. I'm thinking its the Rad fan playing up as I can't get it to work even when running it straight to the battery, it's totaly dead. I'm not sure yet how to remove the fan from the car? it looks like its removed from under the car from here it slides into a bracket...

another update: Just tried the fan straight from the battery and nothing happening! disconnected the plug from what looks like the fan motor near the middle of the fan and run it straight to the battery, seems like I may well have found the problem. are these repairable or is it a straight...

The cars now back home after the wife drove it home with the heater on flat out in the car. It works out about 9 miles but the temperature gauge didn't rise higher than the halfway mark. I have had a play and ruled out the water pump and thermostat, one thing is could be is the Radiator fan? I...

could anyone give me some advice please. the wife has just rung me from the city centre where she is shopping to inform me the puma is overheating, there is plenty of water in the car and the resovoir but she noticed the temperature gauge riseing and then steam from under the bonnet. could this...

Much apreciated guys cheers :thumbs:. what I think is funny is why it only does it while driving, if the car is is parked and the revs picked up it doesn't happen? the wife told me she noticed it only really does it in first and second when you let the clutch up then a few seconds later you...

Now you have confused me :wink: This is probably a silly idea but the get the impresion listening to the pully that it just sounds like bearing thats havn't seen a drop of Lubricant for a very long time. If I remove it and the bearings seem ok can they just be Oiled/Greased up and the pully...

Much apreciated Guys! Top man Chris for the info mate :thumbs: its been rumbling basicaly since we owned the car, its only just now started squeeling slightly like a dry bearing at certain revs...... atb Jasper
