Thought I'd make a post to alert anyone who doesn't already know about Machinemarts "You'll never ever get your money back" policy! Ok, so I brought a car creeper from machinemart and within a few weeks of use the wheels started to wobble and become unstable. I kept using it and after a few...

Hello all! I decided to fit an aftermarket steering wheel to my puma, and tried wiring in a 2.2ohm fused resistor to fool the ecu into thinking the airbag was still plugged in. Needless to say it never worked :cry: so i was wondering if anybody had succesfully fooled the ecu into thinking the...

This little puma was attracted to my focus in birmingham. Not seen one this colour before, dont know if its a member on here.

I thought about the same thing myself! I think the focus mk2 hub flange will fit, the driveshaft spline count is the same, but I guess the only way to find out is to try it, but it means destroying the bearing.

I don't know the angle just now, but I happen to have a spare knuckle in my garage to measure for you, just remind me Monday and I'll get on it!

Hi all, im just after some opinions, for any that dont know i have a standard blue FRP, it will have teh standard blue bonnet back on (as apposed to the carbon one i have fitted at the moment) I have Compomotives on at the moment, but im getting the original FRP wheels refurbed to fit some track...

Hi all, ive had a bit of an issue with my 1.6 focus. Ive left it standing for a few months (about 8 to be exact), and i charged the battery the other day, and tried to start it. It started, but with a very lous squeel from the accessory belt, followed by smoke bellowing out from unter the bonnet...

Thought id add this guy for anyone who needs a good mechanic around Birmingham. Its only just dawned on me to post up details, but this guy is old school, not one of your usual modern day mechanics who just plugs your car into diagnostics. Hes very good with modified cars and engines, when i was...

Hi all, i attempted wiring my amp up today, but it didnt work out, the speakers croak a little to the beat, but thats about it!!! :oops: The AMP is a 4 channel Philips DAP 6040, and the head unit is an old Kenwood KDC W7031. The head unit has 4 amp outputs on the rear, 2 front, and 2 back...

Hi all, ive been reading reviews on this stuff, all seem really good, but every one has been on a blak car, has anyone tried it on any other colours? Im thinking of using it on my FRP, and carbon bonnet. Also, does anyone know what the process is, i understand that you wipe it on and buff it...

Saw a nice FRP heading north on M1 last night about 6pm, reg started in B1 I think. Anybody know of this car? I was proper jealous, as I was driving a big old van for work, I wanted to go home and get my puma!!

Me again, im just about ready to give up on my car, theres just problem after problem! Ive spent about 6 hours max actually driving my car, and months underneath it :x Anyhow, i wanted to pick the brains of anyone that knows how the Puma ABS system works and stores codes. Ive had my ABS light...

Has anyone used a higher rated brake fluid then dot 4 in a puma? Thinking of upgrading to either one, but cant find information on weather the chemical composition of dot 5 is compatible with the puma componants. Thanks in advance

Hi all, been tweaking my puma, & having a few issues. When driving at high speed, I'm having to do loads of little steering corrections to keep it straight. It doesn't feel too stable, and on hard acceleration, I'm really struggling for grip. I've used poly bushes in the wishbones so there...

Ive been asked by a few members, so thought id write up a guide because there are some out there that will blow the switch, and you will end up with this: Its a low current circuit inside the ford power switch, so some parts cant take 12v. Here is a drawing ive made thats pretty self...

Recently noticed how cheap my puma speakers sound, does anyone know what power the standard speakers are? I dont want to upgrade to ghetto blaster style speakers, just something that doesnt sound so hollow. Im lead to believe the sizes are 130mm for fronts, and 5" x 7" for rears, there seems to...

Hey all, ive done a little searching on ABS light faults, it seems DAL has freakishly good knowlege of the puma ABS system :lol: My ABS light is really annoying me now, i changed all abs sensors when i changed all the bearings, and rebuilt the hubs and wishbones. Ive checked resistance and all...

What tyres are you all using?? Im really looking for the opinions of those who drive their car hard, i dont care about the wear, i know they last as long as you make them last, and the softer compounds arent going to last as long, but ive only ever used parada's and toyo proxes on cars i drive...

Hi all, i cleaned my car the other day, and the window seals on the outside are letting it down, they look like the metal under the rubber is corroded and bubbling the outer rubber up a little. Does anybody know if the seals of any other car fit, like fiesta, or if they can be brought new...

Ive had a few people asking me if i have an FRP cam locking tool, which i dont, or asking me to time up their cams that have been set by a mechanic with the standard tool so down on power. I dont have the tool, but ive developed a method of using the standard locking tool, so thought id share...
