I am after a fuel pump for a 1.7 2001 puma - working part please

Puma has been left for a while in my garage over the winter, but recently I have had time to work on my project car again. Problem I have been having has been that the car wouldn't start car turns over but doesn't start.Went thru all the ignition related diagnostics and even a new battery...

Looking good dude , long time since I have been on here or read your project thread you have made real good progress!!!!! Need to get my car out of moth balls just lost interest in it ........ lol Hope it starts .......

Was thinking about refitting my stereo , in two minds as it adds weight , it only weighs 3.4 kg.

Didn't think it would work ..........I have a spare bumper that I have been trying to do the same lol , besides round holes drilled I haven't really really haven't worked out how to cut it down. You tried this plastic cement stuff?

If you are using a 9v you can use this you may find this link useful http://convert-to.com/491/recharging-rechargeable-nimh-nicd-batteries.html Some resistors in series?

May be an idea Steve heard this mentioned to me before but just didn't look into it as I am a lazy git lol

With intelligent chargers you don't take the battery out to charge the ctek charges is the stuff used with high end cars and plugs into the charger socket and intelligently charges the battery pulse charging ... I think you will find the Varley , odyssey batteries are not just gel construction...

lol yeah seen your epic thread on the other forum .........

Can see the positives and negatives to this , the trickle charge process probably kills the battery slowly and the gel type batteries can retain there charge for long period of times without being trickly charged.My only concern would be that not using the car without any charge going though the...

I have an isolator switch but don't use it when not using the car and the car is in the garage? I just trickly charge it every so often?

How does it work with the ecu i would be worried cutting my engine as I do as I have the car in peices in the garage and each time I reconnect the ecu starts that damn relearning process? Or does inly happen when you disconnect the battery for x amout of time?

I agree with pumanoob dude I was advised on getting a 25 and higher battery.......... You also need to "trickle" charge these batteries using the cteks or one of the intelligent battery chargers which basically conditions the battery. I use a ctek on my standard battery usually plug it on once...

Worth an RAC check, 5k is very low 2.5k a year....... You can only run credit checks lol car is too new for an MOT check .......

Never sat in one of these :-( but sat in a few lotus elises , similar to kit cars it feels like you are sitting on the floor :-) they are loads of fun though.....
