I supply the part, they supply the knowledge having done it before! I can travel anywhere within 20miles of Manchester :-)

Started off with a 5mm drop so topped up. Now its a few inches on the expansion tank and getting worse. Garage (over the phone) said it could be a leak from the front (common) where all the black plastic is?!

Without them fouling or hitting the liner etc? I know the standards are 195 50 15's and using http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; What, in your experience do you reckon? The idea is to get some good tall/skinny winter tyres fitted all-round.

Its basically dropped down/destroyed the bolt holes holding it to the body of the car and rattling against/on the back box. The petrol tank isn't affected if I remove or is there that/other things that I need to take into consideration?

There isn't one in the how to section. Does anyone know how to change the ABS sensor? Indie wants £50 + Ford Original price. Whereas Europarts is probably half that and I'll save the labour+VAT if I do it myself. I'd rather invest the expense in a proper jack/stands for any future work than...

Start up, drive and it takes a few minutes before of these lights go out. Only happened today after 50mins of driving in the rain. Obviously sensors are 'wet'? Is there a way that I can clean the sensors or is the first sign of the corrosion leading to a new sensor needed? If so... :( how much...

:grin:

Its only an ever so slight erratic idle. Like on a VW engine is there a sensor that you can clean that leads to or is connected to the air intake? Or is there another way to tackle erratic idle?

End of my journey. Set the car into reverse and a 'bang' (almost as though you've stalled the car/sudden jolt noise). Then going forward in first, same noise and the gear level had jumped out of first with the bearing-noise that you sometimes hear if the gear isn't quite engaged. Now. I had...

When warm or cold, a/c on or off. Whilst stationary there is a slow but constant tap sound coming from infront of me. Depress clutch- still there, drive slow- not there, a/c on or off- still there when stationary. Fan on/off - still there. One hit on google says it could be a relay clicking to...

Over on Pistonheads we are discussing this. One poster feels its there to stop damage being done to the Fiesta gearbox whilst another sees it as pointless. What are Puma owner views on this??

Ok had the cambelt changed yesterday and (is it just me being paranoid) at tickover the car has a slight shudder every so often. The revs do no rise or fall at all at any point. The car is new to me so maybe its just part of the car. The fluids are all topped up/no leaks etc etc etc.

Ok under my new Puma painting Hammerite rust primer along the sills and the outside (curved) edges are in great condition eitherside however the ridge (car length) jacking sill is splitting in parts with rust on the ends. Is this normal for Puma's? I know with other cars I've seen it can be...

Here it is. Probably nowhere near the best on here but great to me. I'm already T-cutting/polishing, booked in for a cambelt/belts and I've stalked/talked to the first/previous owner :D

Wierd. Doesn't correspond with anything really. Its basically a large white mould residue/patch above (roughly) the brake fluid reservoir. I asked the seller if this was due to a engine 'explosion' of some sort. Nope. Is this common or a cause for concern?? On autoexpresses site it looks...

To touch up/repaint rust spots on both arches and a cambelt change. What sort of price should I be looking to pay?

Hi I'm new. As the 1.7 is getting older its getting harder to find (or a minefield) for me to find a 'decent' one. I've read about the need for correct oil in Yamaha engines however a decade on there will be many incorrect oil changes won't there? The car that I am interested in has 3 main...
