Hi guys.
My poor Puma is feeling its age and falling apart.....just like me lol.
I had a front spring break last week.
Anyway the problem l need help with is a leak that l can't find. It has only recently developed. It did appear to be coming from behind the trim. See photo 1
I tapped the lower...
Hi Guys.
I had the front drivers spring snap on me yesterday. About 13 years ago I fitted a full set of Ebach lowering FRP springs, I think they lowered the car 40mm. I have been on ebay there seems so many to choose from, many of which I suspect may not be the real thing. Seeing that the...
Hi,
I will soon be replacing my front struts/shocks. According to the service manual this tool is needed. Do I actually need it or is there an alternative?

Hi.
I did the above. to my seat belt after watching a video on youtube.
Place a towel on the seat of the belt to be cleaned.
Pull the belt right out and clamp to stop retraction.
Place a container of soapy water on the towel and place unwound belt in soapy water.
Leave to soak for at least an...
Hi.
I was not sure where to post this. I belong to a local classic car club, as a result I get a copy of FBHVC magazine. I copied and pasted this.

Hi.
As above I have checked the fuses in the passenger compartment. They are all okay. I have tried to find a fuse box diagram but no luck. There is power to the switch as it illuminates. Has anybody any ideas. Thanks.

Hi,
Bit of an odd one.......has anyone got any vinyl from the back of a front seat. I just thought if anyone has a really old manky front seat that is unusable I might be able to purchase the vinyl from it.

Hi.
Whilst I was at Fiber Sport yesterday regarding splitter manufacture I discussed with Steve the owner the possibility of the manufacturing of replacement headlight glass. In addition to manufacturing GRP products Fiber Sport laminate acrylic sheet. Steve said it would be very easy to make...
Hi.
this Puma appeared very briefly on Bangers and Cash on 15/9/2022 episode. Just a rear view driving out through the gate of a yard.

Hi.
This is a bit of an odd one I am interested to know if any other owners have experience this oddity. On a few occasions I have had to top up my engine oil. The amount being from the lower mark or just above to the top mark on the dipstick. Once done the performance of the engine noticeably...
Hi.
The above Puma joined behind me on a roundabout at 2pm today on the A133 between Weely and Great Bently, Essex. (Near Clacton). The paint work on the roof and the bonnet looked decidedly sad.

Richard.
Hi.
I decided to restart this as a new topic as the other one by the same name is a bit stale. As you know I now have recovered the original mold from which I was producing the splitters.
I myself do not need a splitter. I know there is a lot of interest in this. I have given the subject some...
Hi.
I know this sounds odd but does anyone know what the above is called. I need to know as I am trying to by a spare one. I have been into the Ford parts catalogue but it is not shown,
Regards,
Richard.
Hi.
Has anyone out there have a numbered gear knob 798/1500 ? I Know I would probably stand more chance of winning the lottery. My car has 798 in the reg. no. and when I was in the police my number was PC798, a pure coincidence. I thought I would try to get the gear knob as well lol. I do have 7...
Hi.
I need to replace the above on my Puma. Looking on EBAY, lots for sale but all for a 1.6 or 1.4, there are none listed for a 1.7. Looking at the parts catalogue there are indeed three different part numbers for this item for the three engine variants. Can anyone tell me does it really matter...
