Thanks YOG all cleared up :ok: The car is now sorted and not losing fluid (pesky cylinder) Highlights the importance of servicing the brakes if ur cars getting on a bit which obviously most of ours are :lol:

Point well made by the way :wink:

Ferric oxide can ferric off ;p

Its all this mechanic slang talk that makes it difficult for the newbie (me) trying to get all the lingo down :roll: !!! :lol: Onwards and upwards! ps i hate rust

I know its nit picking but it confused me no end up until i got inside the drum and used my noodle You learn something new everyday (on projectpuma) :wink:

Anyway, more importantly ive done some fart arsing around gathering tools and parts etc and have got as far as finding a leaking wheel/brake cylinder within the drum and replacing it with a spare i had in the garage (one of the benefits of hoarding spare cars lol) Didnt get as far as...

Isnt the slave cylinder located inside the gearbox :P

Do you mean Master Cylinder??

Update. Fluid is leaking from the driver side brake drum. I will amble off to the how too's in a minute. What am i likely to find once ive dismantled it???

Right, going to inspect the damage now. Whatevers happened i can see it being a pig to sort lol Thanks for posting guys :thumbs:

Just last night i was turning into the car park where i live and whilst using the brakes the pedal went soft and sunk to the floor. (still managed to stop the car but something is definatly wrong) As it was pitch black all i could check was the fluid resorvior. Its gone from full to near the...

Obviously if anyone knows of a low mileage engine with history, you know who to let know :wink: (and fairly cheap aswell as most of my money has gone into raybans and f1 alloys for my gf's bday and a leather interior for my puma lol!)

What does the diff dooo lol? Will defo check the shafts! what am i looking for ?

Sport KA, nice! So in theory if the gases are getting through the cat ok then no damage is being caused but like you say will fail emissions on the MOT! From what shes told me the car drives fine also! Better start getting some pennies together i heard they cost a fair bit down at fords!

Going back today at some point to remove the last leather seat! YUM! Willl check the shafts and the point you make about the clutch not gripping anything makes sense i suppose :P So in theory the slave cylinder and bearing have outlived the friction pad! What does it mean if i find first...

Looking at buying an engine and gearbox for when my pumesta gives up the ghost. Went to see a car with 60,000. I was told the clutch had gone but with the engine running at idle i depressed the clutch put it in gear, let the clutch up and the car just didnt move!! wtf is going on here?? I would...

My sister bought the car for the new (11 month old) arrival :) All was well until the engine light popped up! Reset the ecu and it disapeared for a bit and came back. She promptly took it to a friend of a friends garage and was hit with a bill of £200 for a pipe behind the manifold and some...

Turning Right onto the Elstree Road in Bushey. Looked amazing, could only stop and stare! Also a nice looking Millie taking the exit for pyecombe coming from brighton way yesterday evening :)
