Not sure marcus from what i can see at the top of d/s door card i need atleast one black clip that fixes to a white socket in door frame im guessing this is how the rest of the clips are if that answers your question? The p/s door needs a few too

I need to replace a few door card clips on my puma as the rattling is starting to annoy me now. Would anybody here know which clips i need to use as i have called ford and have been asked if i need yellow or black ones? without me pulling the door card off im wondering if i could get some...

Oil level is spot on but the smoke seems to have settled down, perhaps i was overly concerned as it was the first oil change i had ever done. Thanks for the figures Rick i have a 1.7 and am pretty close to the figures quoted with a small amount of oil left from 5l

Im about to check again, if i have put a little too much in is this going to cause big problems? (too much pressure)

possibilities, im gonna take a good look with some good light tomorrow. no oil was spilt used a funnel so if any very minimal. the smoke was not blue more white/grey as for the smell i havent had a chance yet

Hi all, I have gathered quotes from a number of local garages for the replacement of clutch and slave cylinder on my 1.7 puma. The best price i have been given so far is £300 all in. Would anyone out there with experience say that this is the best im likely to find? Thanks!

:oops: Thanks Dal, apologies for putting up another thread

Hi all, I have recently purchased a 2000 plate standard 1.7 ford puma. Having driven the car for almost a month and discovering an unusual knocking noise i have been met with the bad news that the dual mass flywheel needs replacing. I have been quoted various prices for the repair but would...
