UPDATE: Already sold!

86000 miles 1.7 Puma for sale Price: £800 Well looked after little bits of wheel arch rust Reg is : GU51LCK Gonna miss the old gal, absolutely loved driving it! :( Images of the car attached below. Based in NE London. PM for details.

@Yog Edit: after looking through the fuse box, turns out it was just a faulty 10A burnt fuse! Thanks for your help 😊!

Was wondering if anyone know how this can be fixed? Maybe a blown fuse? My heater control valve knob, AC button and recirculation button have stopped functioning. Also the clock has stopped displaying the time. Feel like a fuse or two might need replacing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in...

As a freaking crossover suv.... https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ford-puma-tipped-return-compact-suv :-(

Yes, I'm thinking it's a bad scuttle panel as well as the buzzing sounds like it's coming from the dash. I've also discovered that the rubber that's underneath the scuttle panel seems to have moved from it's original position. (Worn glue perhaps) gonna give it a go repositioning it. Thanks for...

No, the sound happens when the car is moving and starts at 2k, it doesn't happen always only during harsh accelerations. I've noticed that the airbox itself isn't properly placed on the rubber bushing I believe, maybe that might cause the buzzing sound? Dunno. I've also noticed a knocking...

UPDATE: Changing the coil pack has fixed the problem, no more backfiring issues. However, when I accelerate, between 2 and 3000 rpm. These is a buzzing sound, no loss in acceleration anymore but there's a buzzing sound in the 2-3000 rev range. I reckon it might be a bad intake airbox, because as...

Yeah, bought the new coil pack, will install it tomorrow and I'll give an update on the outcome. Cheers!

Hi there everyone! I've recently encountered a problem with my Puma, the car whilst accelerating hesitates and makes a "popping" sound, I think it might be backfiring? When the car is stationary and in neutral, it doesn't make any pops and revs fine, only in gear under acceleration it hesitates...

MAJOR UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your help, the car runs like normal now, no more air lock issues!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE! :grin: :ok:

All right cheers for all the advice, I guess I'll just have to get used to the temperature gauge dancing up and down during commutes then.

Did what you guys suggested, used the aluminium foil method, the temp guage still increases. Took it for a cruise, noticed that at 1300-3000 rpm is roughly when the temperature rises. When I rev it beyond 3000, that's when the temperature drops. This is really getting on my nerves. Any...

Cheers! Will try that today!

UPDATE: I'm getting tired of dealing with the airlocks by squeezing the radiator hose since it seems to go away and then randomly come back so I'm wondering if there is any quick process on taking air off the system?
