Hi all, I've read a few posts on here but can't really find the answer I'm looking for.... Had some pretty bad inner tyre wear on the front passenger side... Had the tracking looked at and they only adjusted the drivers side. No idea if they did it correctly but I'm guessing inner tyre wear...

Hi guys, Trying to get my Puma back on the road after 6 months of sitting idle... I'm pretty sure that the battery is dead and needs replacing but after fully charging it on a trickle charger im fairly confident I got enough power into it to at least get one start out of the energy. I assume...

Hi guys, The traction control and ABS light have come on on my puma, does anyone know if there's a way to reset the lights? If not, would the dash error code readings load up ABS problems? Background is as follows: Changed the rear brakes but had to cut the ABS sensor off, the rear sensors...

Hi guys, How do I remove the drive shaft from the outer CV joint? Apparently there's a circlip hidden in the grease somewhere? I only really need to change the boot but I'm guessing that grease shouldn't be black so maybe an entire new CV joint would be better... Any thoughts? Cheers, Dan...

Can anyone explain what the circled part in the image below is? It's a thin metal clip that pops on and off what I assume is the hand brake adjuster with reasonable ease... Also, if it's an important part, can a replacement be bought easily? Cheers, Dan

Hi Guys, Can someone tell me what this part is called... Here's the description... It's on the right side of the engine and the coil pack is screwed into it... It's held onto the engine head with 2 nuts and 2 bolts and has two pipes coming off of it... On my old clio, the equivalent of this...

Hi Guys, Can someone advise me of the best way to hard wire an alarm/tracker to my car? At the moment it's stuck straight onto the battery, ideally I'd like it a bit tidier and fused in the box just behind the battery, is this possible? Cheers, Dan

Step 00) Take a note of the time. Step 01) Disconnect the car battery using a 10mm socket Step 02) Pull the A-Pillar covers off of both sides of the car. Pull the rubber door seal away from the car so it's not obscuring the side of the dashboard. Remove the covers on the side of the dash...

Hi All, Can someone give me a rough idea of how long it should take to get a dash board out of a Puma? Also, will I need any unusual tools? I'm gonna pop to a breakers yard on Wednesday and remove a dashboard and don't want to go completely unprepared... I found a couple of links explaining...

Hi guys, Would anyone be interested in the driver's or passenger's seat from a 2000 Puma? I was hoping for 25 quid each or something... Realistically I have no idea what they're worth though... Guess they'd be good for anyone who has tear or cigarette holes... They're in pretty good condition...

Hi Guys, I've been battling a coolant leak for a while, thought I'd finally fixed the problem (need to check the coolant again tonight) but last night after turning off the engine I noticed a hissing noise coming from the expansion tank. It was the first time I've noticed the noise... The car...

Hi All, Would someone be kind enough to measure the distance between the two side beams of the chassis at the front of the car? The beams that the slam panel seem to sit on, I think one of the beams has a tow point on the wrong of it from memory... Basically my Puma has a bit of front end...

hi all, Amongst the many other things I want to do with my puma I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes. As it stands the brakes on current and previous puma's feel a bit spongy, I noticed this the most when jumping into my brothers Golf and a hired Peugot, both of which hard much more responsive...

Hi All, I managed to get my hands on a spare remote fob and got a key cut for it. I'm trying to program it to start the car (it unlocks the doors with the blade or buttons fine) but it's failing to by pass the immobiliser. I've have two keys which both start the car without a problem. I've...
