My search function isn't bringing up anything. Basically, I am selling my Puma to someone but he doesn't want all of it so I was going to keep a few pieces. The fiesta is a 1998 as is the Puma so I wondered what crosses over. One are the seats, will they bolt straight in? My fiesta ones are...

So my ignition is ruined to the point where I can't even get my key into it. I can't turn my ignition to open the hole at the top to get the screwdriver in to release the barrel and my drill won't reach because of the dash. My only option appears to be unbolting the steering column to give my...

Basically, my ignition barrel is wrecked and I need to replace mine. Unfortunately - I can't get the key into the lock deep enough to move it to position 1. What are my options? Do I have to drill out the old lock or is there some way I can force the lock into position 1? I have ordered a new...

For the second time, I have attempted to do my brake pads but after almost rounding off one of the 6-sided bolts - I decided to find another way round it. I saw a post that said it is possible to change the pads via the Tork-bolt section. So I removed them but it STILL didn't come loose. So I...

My Puma is going in for its MOT soon (early as they are on offer, £25) and if it passes I figured I should get the timing belt done while it is there (not in the service history and I do a lot of mileage). So I was wondering how much it costs people generally? I am going to get the water pump...

On my journey to South Wales someone in a purple puma flashed and waved at me. I was entirely confused. HELLO PERSON.

Having a chat with a friend of mine who loves Japanese cars (as do I, I grew up with Honda's) and of course, because I have a Puma, he had a few digs (as people do - ALL THE TIME) because he has a B16 Civic which is producing 160BHP in a car the size of our Puma's, so I gave him the keys to my...

Has anyone got a step by step on how to remove the gear linkage on a 1.7 or can take pictures of theirs? Trying to remove mine but can't figure it out :(

Basically my car snapped a gear linkage 3 weeks ago. Since that time it has been at my friends hotel doing nothing. Went to it today, bodged the linkage and then went to start it to find the battery was completely flat. So I jump started it, the lights came on but when I put the key in -...

Can anyone tell me where it is? My Puma has some serious idle issues that aren't there higher up the rpm range (or anything over 2000 for that matter). I suspect the icav just needs a clean. If only I knew where it was....

Hia, How do people find the brakes on a 1.7 Puma? Mine are horrible. They give off a lot of dust and there are plenty of pad left but I'm half tempted to change them just to see if they are any less horrific. If it matters any, the car had been stood over a year before I picked it up. I don't...

Just a query (one of thousands). I want to change my coolant - how would I do it so that I bleed the entire system and not just the radiator? Also - one of the garage guys said Puma's systems auto-bleed. Is this true? Thing is, I got back to my house the other day. Pulled up, wasn't a...

Before I ended up in the Puma, I have been around the block with cars (BM's, Honda's, Lexus') and one good upgrade is always the radiators (or intercoolers when running boost). I have had a gander on some websites and can't find any multi-core alloy radiators :( My Puma has the common fault of...

seeing as my exhaust has started blowing, a replacement is required so I thought i may as well shell out for something decent :) i am considering something custom but would be interested to see what is available first.

Hi all, my first technical query and it has nothing to do with the issues my car is experiencing (this forum has already pointed me in the right direction on nearly all). What I was wondering is - the two versions of the 1.7, the 123bhp and the 150(?)bhp - what gives the other one such a...

Hi All! Whenever I get a new car, I generally tend to find the most active forum related to it so I can scope out what's what with my new buy but with the Puma things have been totally backwards and this is where I've come last! Basically; I'm 24 this year and the Puma was car #10! Been...
