This applies to ANY branch of Mr. Clutch from what I've read, but specifically the one in Gateshead. Took my Hyundai in for a new clutch costing around £320. They then told me I needed a new dual-mass flywheel too, which the computer hadn't noticed my car had, which would ramp the total up to...

Thought I'd post my trials and tribulations on here, I want sympathy!! :) The Coupe has always had its fair share of problems, but these latest ones are ridiculous, and are, in fairness, not the car's fault. The clutch had been slipping for a while, and I finally decided to get it tested, just...

I thought I'd actually start a topic on it, just to keep all my thoughts together more than anything else! Hyundai Coupe Gen3 2.7 V6 ------------------ 2656cc 165bhp 181lb-ft torque 28mpg combined (LIES) Electric sunroof, mirrors, windows Climate control Cruise control Leather interior Now...

Hate to open a new topic for this because there probably already exists a similar one somewhere, but... Does anyone know the cheapest place to get a Powerflex kit for the Puma from? Don't need the rear beam bushes, but the whole of the front kit would be nice :) ALl help appreciated as ever...

...is finally fixed!! I've never heard of this problem before, so I thought I'd share it with all of you. I thoguht it was the sensor that was broken after the light kept coming on intermittently on the dashboard, despite the fact that the self-test reset the light every time I set off. I got...

This post is basically due to a sheer lack of experience and understanding when it comes to wheels and tyres... The ST170 wheels have arrived. I thought the tyres were going to 215/40/17, but they're actually 205/40/17... Will they fit without spacers? I don't know whether the tyre size affects...

Well, after looking around this morning, all of yesterday and on the internet all week for his first car, looking at such spectacles as Fiestas, Hyundai Coupes, TIgras (shudder), Mitsubishi FTOs and other tat, my sensible brother has settled on a Ford Puma. I went down and had a look with him...

It's made a reappearence! This used to live just down the road from me, and now seems to have relocated to South Shields. Apparently, it has an 175bhp engine and is a 2001 W-reg? Sounds very rare indeed...

Lets face it, I'm really bad at getting these sorts of problems looked at. For a while now (and I mean a while), theres been a weird sort of groan coming from what I believe to be the centre-ish of the engine compartment when I'm doing about 2500rpm in most gears, even does it on standstill...

Tried to get a video this afternoon of the Puma's milltek setup, was very windy, but I think you can still hear it! I'll try and take a better one on a quieter day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-ZJz6VYBeI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm finally going to get this sorted very soon, after leaving it for about a month since the exhaust was fitted... For those who don't know, my lambda sensor wasn't long enough to join onto the new Milltek manifold, and has been tied off at the top of my engine compartment ever since it was...

After yesterday's harsh driving, I'm not sure what this could be. Something to the left of the engine (water pump, A/C area) or thereabouts is making a horrible constant whining noise all the time when the engine's running, anyone got any ideas what it could be?

I was going along the highway between Washington and Sunderland today, heading back from uni towards work, doing a nice stable speed in the outside lane, when Mr. White-Van-Renault-Master-person decides he will overtake the non-existant car in from of him with me on his offside! I see him...

I'm starting this more as a reminder for myself of everything that needs doing to get my gorgeous black Puma back up to the standard it should be! I will keep this updated and post everything I do in here, hopefully with pics :) [DONE] Smoked side repeaters Cambelt change New stereo HCV K&N Air...

Any use to anyone? Spotted them tonight and thought I'd link them for you. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-PAIR-OF-F" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... 240%3A1318

The bugger came loose on the way home today, dragging over certain parts of the road. Haven't had a proper look cos it's pitch black, but think its probably corroded somewhere. Easy fix, and if not, is it really necessary? Or should I just pull it off?

On Christmas Eve, me and Zara took the Pumas up to the black wash in South Shields before Colin came up. Went back to hers and polished both of them (Zara took a lot more care with hers). Just thought I'd share some of the results :-D 1148 1149 1150 1151

Basically I have so much to do, but should hopefully get it all sorted in time. Need the suspension doing, bushes too, new front anti-roll bar, exhaust, air filter, possibly 4-2-1, possibly sport cat. Less than 6 months to sort all that out! Haha.

I bought some of those Super Brilliance Halford's bulbs the other day, after seeing glowing reviews from most of you who've fitted them, thought it might be nice to actually see in the dark for a change. Got them home and started to take the front grille off. Top two screws came off no problem...

This FRP appeared in the One Show tonight in a feature getting sorted in a garage. Anyone know whose this is? :P
