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...

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...

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...

the wife noticed in the past that the car makes a squeel rattling noise at around 2.5 - 3k rpm which seems to come from the engine, I never took much notice until today and heard it for myself. It doesn't do it all the time and seem to only cut in intermitently, also noticed when it does do it...

Noticed in the last few days that when the Air Con is switched on the car won't idle, I'm having to catch the revs to stop it from stalling? once the aircon is switched off everything is fine again. The only thing I have done different is disconnect the Battery the other week for a good hour...

Noticed for the last few days when the Puma is started from cold the engine shoots up when fired to around 3000RPM or slightly higher before dropping down to idle when the engine has warmed up? this only happend when the engine is first fired from cold for a split second. any ideas would be...

Since we have owned our puma Its been pretty dificult at times to select reverse, If I place it in 1st gear and roll it forward slightly then select reverse its perfect but when the car has been standing or it seems expecially from cold selecting reverse is hardwork to say the least. if reverse...

Just noticed in the last couple of days a slight blowing coming from the rear box! checked it over and its looking like its past its sell by date. I checked on Ebay and came across a few for a decent price and thought I'll do it myself, the question is I can't find the join from the old box? I...

Just picked up some Mintex Pads from Ebay for my 2001 Puma but not sure if I have the right type? the code on the box is: MDB1883. please see the pictures below. probably the easiest way is to wip the wheel off for a look but I was hopeing someone could help me out here first :thumbs: jasper

No idea what it is but after a run I can smell somthing getting pretty hot outside the car, in the car is fine but as soon as I open the door it hits you. Popped the Bonnet up but can't smell it there either. It seem to only be there for a while after pulling up and disapears when the car just...

Due to the bad weather in the area I havn't been able to use the puma, the only means of transport we could use was the Navara. I walked out to the Puma this morning and thankfully popped the bonnet and gave the Rad Hoses a squeeze! both are frozen virtually solid aswel as the resovoir which is...

Stuck the puma through a MOT last week! the first since we owned the car. thankfully it passed but did come attached with a few advisories. some are obviouse such as Tyres close to legal limit but one I'm a bit baffled about: Front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements...

Could anyone recommend the best place to go to have one fitted? just noticed a fair bark coming out of the back end of the car, its not blowing but it seems the baffle has gone tits up! the fuel also is going down quicker than normal. I was thinking of just having the tail pipe fitted but after...

Noticed over the last few weeks the coolant constantly needs topping up, I fill it to the Maximum and within a week I'm on Minimum, I thought I had cured it a few weeks back after fitting a Jubilee Clip on the thermostat hose that was leaking but coolant is still being lost. I have no idea...

Been looking at some different 5W/30 synthetic and semi synth engine oils available. there's a fair difference in prices compareed to the Branded oils to some own makes. whats the general opinions on this? are we paying alot extra because of the name or is their somthing special in the oils...

I noticed for a while now how the the puma seems to rev high at tickover, and on other occasions it sits perfect at arund 950 - 975RPM. from cold it always revs fairly high but takes a while to drop down. Anyway I removed the houseing for the MAF sensor and managed to get a few pictures off, It...

Picked up a Lambda sensor socket off ebay the other week so I could take a look at mine and perhaps replace, but have to say boy is it tight. I'm worried sick if I put anymore pressure on it I will cause damage to the manifold, used Penetrating oil and WD but this is seriously tight, any advice...

Popped the bonnet yesterday after a trek out in the puma and couldn't help but notice how hot the engine felt? with the engine off the engine was ticking away under the heat with heat waves rising from the engine bay.. The Temp Gauge generaly reads around halfway or slightly over when I'm...

Found this website which most of you may have probably seen before. some interesting information on testing and types of Lambda sensors, anyone ever tried testing theirs? http://www.lambdasensor.co.uk/main/mtesting.htm
