I too was wondering if the whole dash would have to come off, or maybe if it could just be loosened. I suspect the former, sadly.

https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?t=13577 Wow. It's a big old job isn't it?

Thanks for having a look for me Red. This is bad news, I assume that taking the dash out is a lot of work? I'm wondering if there are two flaps. One inside the cabin that is open when recirculated air is selected, closed otherwise, and one behind the pollen filter that is closed when...

Evening everybody! A couple of months ago I noticed that the recirculated air stopped working on my Puma. The light still came on when I pushed the button, but I no longer heard the distinctive 'clunk' as the valve moved and the increased volume of the fan. It didn't bother me too much, just...

I'll try and take some more photos of it over the next few days. In the meantime, anyone know if it's going to be okay to keep cutting away at the carpet in the rear?

Evening everyone, I've fitted a Focus centre console into my Puma, pretty pleased with it. I did cut away a bit too much carpet at one point, but I stuck some of the offcuts in and it looks okay. My question is regarding the rear of the console. It has a 12v socket which I would like to wire...

I've decided to get a garage to replace the bolts for me. There's no way I'm getting them to change the bushes, the labour will cost a fortune. This way, with some nice new bolts in there I should be able to slide them out and replace the bushes in a couple of weeks.

There's no way of getting a socket on the 19mm nut. There's no room between the end of the bolt and the sill. Might be able to get a socket on the 15mm, but you're right about the drivers side, the exhaust is right in the way. If I take a multi-cutter to it, should I be able to punch the bolt...

Right, well I've made a start. Not gone too well to be honest. Took me a while to suss out how to remove the handbrake cable clips without breaking them. Now I've got a decent quality 19mm open spanner and 15mm ring spanner, but the nuts will not budge, and I'm starting to round off the nuts...

Right, I'm preparing myself to do this over Easter. Thanks for the advice, wish me luck!

Hi folks, haven't posted in a while because I keep my Puma off the road in the winter, but I'm making a list of jobs to do when I get it back out of the garage at Easter. The big one is changing the rear suspension bushes for polybushes, and I have a few questions. I've read a couple of the How...

I replaced the coil pack, and she started running properly! I decided to replace the HT leads and the plugs at the same time, and she is positively purring. There is quite a bit of oil swilling around in the plug holes, so rocker cover gasket is next job on my list (of many, many jobs). Thanks...

Right, I've run a DTC scan and it's come up with the fault code P0304 (cylinder 4 misfire). I've got tight seals on all the hoses, should I replace the coil and spark plugs next? Spark plugs have been on my list to do for a while tbh.

Afternoon everybody! I've got a Y reg 1.7, only mod is the obligatory louder air filter. The car has been running faultlessly of late (as it always has done), and today I planned to drive off to see my parents, but didn't get very far. After about a mile or two I stopped at some traffic lights...

Passed a yellow Puma Millennium (were they all yellow?) on the A458 the other day, going from Shrewsbury to Welshpool. Anyone on here?
