The copper is not as strong as steel. And when ABS modul activates, pressure pulsations can get very strong. I guess that is the reason

Don't know how it is with you, but here the brake lines can not be made of copper. Subject to MOT fail...

Hi, are the taillights and the grille still available? Would be willing to post them to Croatia, please?

I tried them as well and they were horrible. Put stock HB3's back into the car and they work better than the LED's I tried. Not worth the hassle, IMHO

On the back side of engine block there is M10 bolt, just next to the driveshaft bracket. Unscrew that and insert the locking pin. Be advised, it is only for positioning the crank, not to hold it against when undoing the pulley on the front. For locking the crankshaft there is a special tool that gra...

Only 2.0 liter option is listed now. I am almost 100% certain the 2.0 liter kit would work on 1.6 as well with different PCM, but... Anyway, it is water under bridge now, as I have collected everything already and will be sticking to SCS Delta option for now. Cheers for the link. Makes you wonder wh...

Iv got a puma 1.7 and wanting to fit a lsd. Dose the escort rs turbo series 2 8 bolt lsd fit into the gearbox without any modifications. If someone could help and shed me some light that would be awesome 😎 Hi Fatboy, It fits. You will need get about a mm or so shaved of the crown wheel and that is ...

Yes, I got myself one as well. Although, would love to crack down the canbus thing and use the stock Ford one for peace of mind regarding the cold start performance etc... But can't find a good how to on creating your own canbus. There are books floating around mainly adressing the reverse engineeri...

Hi there
Did you ever get this going

The brakes are working perfectly. If you are reffering to the ecoboost engine swap project, it is waiting for the weather to warm up a bit: all the bits and pieces are there. Now it it 'just' a matter of bolting it all together...

Way to many colours for my taste, but admiring the effort!
Looking nice soooo clean!

Going to look good.

Already looking good!

Help with a wiring diagram for the Ford Puma 1.7 or where I can get one will be a massive help. You can get online floating around (not stricktly legal but given the age and the number of cars produced... :roll: ) a disk image of Ford TIS DVD for 2006. or something similar. It will install on PC wi...

Do you have a complete codriver's side window regulator with complete door electrical loom, please?
Rear shelf with strings?
Perhaps a codrivers door mirror, electrically adjusted and heated?

I would need it packed very solidly and sent to Croatia.

Cheers,

Hardly, DrumBum, as I live in Croatia. And my garage is my driveway...

The only point of leak, apart from a failing sealant, would be a crosthreaded oil plug. I have seen them torqued by a gun what is a very short way to disaster. Also, many people avoid replacing them out of ignornce/ being tight on money and they just get torqued up. Since the sump is aluminum, it is...

It should be. It is the top end complete kit

The complete kit can be obtained from Burton. https://www.burtonpower.com/head-gasket ... s726k.html

THE puma

Not this modern crossover something

I like the size of the garage... I bet plenty of tools there, too!

If the crankshaft pulley is visibly damaged, I would check the crankshaft and the bearings. Since the engine is at stand already, it is very easy to do now...
I would check the endplay.

Not keen on so much colours, but admiring the effort!

Top job there!

Nice one, I've been looking at doing this myself. Were the mk3 bolt holes for the servo the same as the pumas? So other than the wiring for the plug and the brake lines it should be a straight swap? Exactly. The servo is bolt on job really. You will find out that the pedal sits a bit lower though s...

If you look for the thread of one of our former members, he had a loose connection of a wire inside connector. It was driving him nuts for years, as it was intermittent fault reappearing now and then. I would suspect you have a problem along those lines. Some connection somewhere is not right would ...

Top job!
