Hi all,
I've recently joined the forum and picked up my first Puma at the weekend. I will take some pictures at the weekend and introduce myself properly in the newbie area.
It's got a rumble/vibration at idle speed which develops into a knocking when driving over bumps, etc. I've had a dig around and found that the lower gearbox mount (I think Ford call it a torque limiter) is the culprit as the bushes have given up.
I called Ford this morning to order one and they are now discontinued!! Oh dear.
Does anyone know of an alternative supplier or solution? The bushes can't be purchased separately and I don't fancy going down the route of poly-bushes.
Febi Bilstein list one (part No 15527) but this is only for the 1.4. Has anyone fitted one to a 1.7?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. Chris.
