I thought I would write up this quick guide as the pictures on the current guide do not work. Was one of my first things done on the Puma
1. Remove the Rubber Seal
2. I removed the 2 plastic screws (at the arrows) and loosened the panel (circles)
3. Moved the clips a few inches down all 4 rubber pipes, and unplugged the connector. (probably best to do this with the engine cold, as this water can get VERY hot)
4. Chucked the connector to the side a bit (away from where things could get wet...)
5. Pulled all 4 pipes off and removed the HCV. I used that box to keep the pipes upright to avoid any fluid loss.
6. Comparison between old and new unit... new one is a 7N21
7. Back in place and 4 pipes connected... remember what ones go where!
8. All 4 clips brought back up to seal the pipes to the HCV. Also plugged back in the connector.
9. Put all the wee bits and bobs back, ensure panel is in the correct location, rubber screws at the bottom, rubber seal and anything else shifted.
10. Job well done (I done the usual after that, let the car get up to temperature, ensured water was flowing, coolant wasn't low, top up if need be, etc)
