Thanks for all the comments. I'm located in the midlands so it's not easy to get to you guys. I've tried a 19mm socket but this wouldn't grip enough to loosen the nuts. It may have been a cheap socket though which stripped to easily, rather than gripping the locknut. It's in for its MOT...

Hi all, I've been a complete tool and managed to loose my locking wheel nut key :oops: My local Ford garage have said they do not have a master and need the code for it to be able to order one from Germany. Needless to say I don't have the code... The wheel nuts are the standard ford ones...

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I changed the fluid today there is a slight improvement although they are still fairly poor compared to any other car. Have had the car for 18months and the fluid level hasn't changed over this time so I don't think it's leaking under pressure. Will try some new EBC...

Hi all, I'm after a little advise please... I have plenty of wear left on my brake pads (51 plate Puma so think you're 158mm discs) but after fully standing on the brakes today I couldn't even get the ABS to kick in at any speed on a slightly damp road. I recognise that the brakes aren't a...

Thanks for the feedback - eibachs it is then. Now just to try and fit them... where was that hammer :grin:

Sorry to ask a stupid question but how hard is it to fit early spacers to a late model rear axle? Are there any issues with rubbing etc. Thanks

Hi all, I'm after some advice please. I want to lower my car but don't want to loose the ride quality too much. 30mm should suffice but am wondering which would be best - either the eiback lowering springs with standard dampers or the G Max suspension kit. Both are close in price at around...

OK thanks.

is there much of a difference in ride comfort with the eibach springs on standard shocks. looking to lower but don't want to compromise of comfort too much (must be getting old). Thanks

Hi - are the Gaz golds still for sale - if so how much would you be looking for them? Thanks

Are the Apex springs sold yet - do you have a photo. What was the ride like with them on compared to standard? Out of interest, why have you upgraded to coilovers? Cheers

Thanks - was asking for the fronts so all is good.

Might seem like a silly question but... does the ABS still work :oops: I have a 51plate with 9 spoke wheels - have read somewhere that these don't need any spacers etc - can someone please confirm. Many thanks

How much do the apex springs lower the car by? Also what was the ride like with them on - I don't want anything to crashy but need to loose the arch gap :grin: Cheers, Andy

Hi, Think I missed the edition but think performance ford did an article on their Puma where they changed the filter and installed an FRP remap. Does anyone know what the gains were? Was wondering if this represents the best 'Bangor your buck' Thanks.
