Hello all, My Puma has been parked for ages and I've come back to it now, battery on, no fuel pump prime. Fuse blown, all else fine. Anyway, dropped the tank FINALLY after every single fixture broke. All of them. All four bolts broke the stupid click and rectangular nut system, all the plastic...

Yesterday I started work again on my Puma to sort the front brake upgrade so I wanted to put it on axle stands all round to make bleeding easier. Drivers side rear inner sill next to the rear beam mount has crumbled through when I was poking round. Now I knew I'd be welding this car up at some...

Hi all, As above, all the white symbols are rubbing off hazards button, stalks, window switches etc when cleaning. I've used a regular car APC and a kitchen anti bac spray. Both have the same affect, has anyone had this issue before? Thanks,

Hi all, I've done some searching but haven't been able to find an answer. Basically the clear lenses on the rear lights have come away from the rest of the light along the bottom edge so the lens and lights are filthy, water can get in there. I need to take them apart to clean and then reseal...

Hi all, Upon further inspection and research (looking at the FRP air box mod thread here), I think I'm missing some parts from mine. Circled in red, I just have holes in the box and the tube (the cloth like ducting) sticking out from behind the arch liner which isn't connected to anything...

I'm locked out of my Puma, I left it for a week. Came to it and the car won't unlock with the fob. Fob had new battery in when I got the car (probably September now) and has worked perfectly since. UNTIL NOW (dun dun DUNNN) :lol: Clock is on the dash, alarm light flashes every so often and...

My remote key fob doesn't work to unlock the car, battery in the remote isn't dead as I put a new one in 3 months ago and it worked last weekend. Can't open the locks with any of my keys. It feels like it unlocks most of the way and then you can't turn it further. I think this is a sign it's...

As the title says, going from a high mileage Fiesta to a low mileage Puma the gear shift is very tight. Feels like the new. I struggle to put it into 3rd, it's quite notchy. I was planning on changing the gearbox oil anyway but wondered instead if this is normal?

Hi all, Having bought a Puma with MOT advisory of: Nearside Front Play in steering rack inner joint(s) () Nearside Front rack end slight play And hearing a knocking over on bumps I decided to investigate. Firstly I could see the alignment was off and the steering wheel was not centered. I...

Hi all, Today I've been wrestling with my Puma trying to remove the inner tie rod as there is a lot of play in the ball joint. I have a replacement one here from Ford, part number 1044014. The one on the car does not have any notches for a spanner like the replacement does. I cannot get it...

Hi all, I've recently purchased a 2001 Puma 1.7 in Moondust Silver that came up for sale locally, I did a lot of research and this is the forum that I found most useful so thought best to join! It was a tough decision going from my very reliable 128,000 mile 2006 Fiesta 1.4 Zetec, my weapon of...
