Changing Ford Puma Fuel Filter - how to remove old fuel filter and replace

Changing the Fuel Filter on a Ford Puma is a very straightforward job, actually removing and fitting the new filter only takes a few minute. I found the bit that took longest was refixing the metal clip to hold the new fuel filter in place but a pair of molegrips did the job in the end.

Ford Puma - Fitting Replacement Rear Bumper

The rear bumper on my Millennium edition Ford Puma had some scuff marks on one side so when a replacement bumper became available for a low price I decided it was worth swapping over. The rear bumper can be fairly easily removed. There are 4 bolts inside the boot of the car that need a deep 13mm socket to remove, there is a 7mm bolt on each side under the wheel arch and 2 Torx T25 screws that need to be removed first from the wheel arch liner to give access.

With the rear bumper off I was able to touch up a few areas of minor surface rust before getting the new bumper fitted back on. Plenty of waxoyl around to make sure that the rust doesn't return!

Silver Ford Puma Sold - Millennium restoration

My silver Ford Puma sold yesterday so I'm now down to one with the Puma Millennium. Very sad to see it go as it's been such a fantastic car for me and got me back into the love of Pumas again. My silver Puma was a low mileage example and all the controls felt incredibly tight and smooth so I hope the new owners have as much enjoyment from it as I have.

I'm now full steam ahead with the work on the Millennium Puma, I have a replacement rear bumper to fit as well as new gear linkage.

Free Ford Radio Codes Unlocking - Keycode from Serial Number 6000CD

After I'd swapped the radios between my Ford Pumas I found that the code supplied with the car didn't work with the radio and wouldn't unlock it. I'm guessing that at some point the previous owner had replaced the radio and the key code in the user manual was no longer correct.

Fortunately I found a site online that offers a radio code service to decode from the serial number. I was a bit surprised as it doesn't seem the most secure way to ensure a radio is prevented from being stolen and resold but it worked!

Enter the serial number for the radio and the decoder will give the 4 digit radio code.
