Yes if you use the original seat pretensioners the light should go out but the trouble is they don't match the mounts on the seats as there is a stop as well as a thread holding the pretensioners where they need to be and the position of the stop is reversed on the different pretensioners. If you ha...

Not done much with the Puma over the last few weeks apart from cleaning it and taking it to shows but I did a Idle control valve reset on Forscan as the idle didn't sound 100% right. https://s19.postimg.cc/5zgqcj7ir/210820183802.jpg I was hoping the photo would turn out better but the green ticks on...

Well done Richard.

You might also have to swap the seat belt pre-tensioners over as well which is a lot of work but, hopefully, if your car is early enough you will get away with it

Just change the remove the water pump pulley before taking off the drive belt as it's much easier to take out the water pump pulley bolts with the belt in place as it clamps the pulley from spinning.

Hi Sinisa
Just to let you know, the panel you worked on is known in English as the slam panel as it's what the bonnet slams against when it's closed.
Barry

Cheers Sinisa, definitely a bargain and my Son Andrew is getting really good at finding these.

I found out that on one of the headlights I'd repaired (with Robs help) that the motor wasn't working so I had to swap the headlamp unit and lens over. https://s19.postimg.cc/u45v2bixv/310720183782.jpg That fixed it and I went out later on in the dark and the adjustment looked about right. When I ge...

Hi Sinisa
Well done mate, I've taken off two sets of front wishbones now and on both sides there has always been a seized bolt. I'm trying to work out which is hardest, grinding out the balljoint rivets or sawing off the wishbone bolts that are seized

It's usually the roof for me getting in or out. I've learned from this now but it still catches my son out now and again.

Hi Sinisa
You can never have enough Puma spares

Rob and I did another reasonably local classic car show on Sunday at Walton near Wakefield with the Pumas. This was only the second year of the show (I was there last year as well) but it was a good show and well attended. Our Pumas looked well and attracted a fair bit of attention with one guy even...

As Rob says
Regards
Barry

Hi Tony
Let me know the diameter of the hole as I may have something.
Barry

Hi Sinisa
It's ok you didn't offend me at all and I understand that things are sometimes misunderstood in another language. If you wrote to me in Croation (Croat????) I wouldn't have a clue. You might have to buy Rob a pint when you eventually meet him, though
Barry

Hi Sinisa
As far as I know the 2K that Rob uses is the same stuff as what professional paint shops use so they should be good for now. They certainly look good even though I haven't polished them yet but I suppose time will tell.

A big Thanks to my friend Rob (Robyorks) on here for kindly clear coating my headlight lenses as they now look fantastic even though I haven't polished them yet. These were the headlight off the Thunder I'm stripping and the original clearcoat was that badly damaged I'd had to completely remove it s...

I went to the classic car show at Notton near Wakefield today and the car went down really well, but, unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of it there :-( Behind me was a current mustang in red, a full blown rally Lancia Delta Integrale to my right and a bubble arched Mexico to my left. It was the...

Hello and welcome to the forum Tomas.

Cheers Rick

Hi Charlie
I've just bumped it up to be the post below this. You will also need to read and understand Gates technical bulletin \036 for setting the tensioner but just google that.
Barry

bump

Hi Charlie It took some finding this one but eventually got "misfire detected" at the start of a P1380 description. My guess is you may not have done the cambelt change successfully. Did you follow Ford TIS instructions, replace both the crankshaft pulley and VCT pulley bolts, tension the belt with ...

It's above the gearbox more or less to the rear of the battery tray and as Paul (DOH) says it's a big black plastic plug.

Hi Martin I bought some Oetiker clamps but they ended up being the wrong size so I ended up using the screw clips at the tank and regulator ends and the twin eared clips where I'd plumbed in a tank drain. Once the ears of the clips have been clamped with pincers it's impossible to get them off witho...
