I've never seen a puma with a spoiler like mine before :ninja:
The clutch is heavy I watched Scott do mine and he was struggling cos it was so heavy, he ended up having to have a mate help him do it lol

I'll find something just you wait lol

feel shattered

 

[Rich@RGMotorsportOldAccount]

i take it you started at 6pm

 

[fq-craigus]

Haha if only, nope started at 9 am. Lol I'm by no means a mechanic and mostly self taught luckily have the occasional help from my dad.

I'm just taking my time with it all and just hoping it runs when back together.

At short notice where could I go and pick up an adaptor for a fuel pressure sensor and a temp sensor as the grub holes are far too big.

It's all a learning curve for me that I hope ill never have to call upon again its a mission and a half

 

[Rich@RGMotorsportOldAccount]

just pullig ya plonker mate, good luck

 

[fq-craigus]

Lol I no fella, wish it only took me 2 hours though lol.

Cheers mate

Well cars all back together and working just fine.

Power steering pump is whining like crazy so I'm hoping that's just air in the system. And also I have oil coming from somewhere I think but could be where I have spilt oil not sure yet. I'm goin home in the morning and back here next week for the final touches and taxing.

Also as for the ayc where does that get filled from? I have put oil into transfer box but my ayc lights have all come on and all I drained was transfer box gearbox and engine

you need to steer from lock to lock to release air in the pas system, and keep topping up.

Did you clamp off the ACD pipe to the transfer box when you took it all off? If not then you've probably lost all the ayc fluid.

If you haven't lost all the Ayc fluid then it's a simple bleed.

Open the bleed nipple on the transfer box and put a tube on it and into a old container with small amount of fluid in the bottom.

Next turn the ignition full on but don't start the car. Then push the throttle pedal all the way to the floor. You hear the pump activate and air or fluid will come out the pipe.

Repeat several times to ensure air is out the system

You may need to disconnect the battery for a bit to clear the acd light fault first.

Ok so where do you fill the act from? I know the nipple you mean. In the side of the transfer box there is a fill hole I used will the act draw though the system by bleeding the way described

 

[B6lee]

Surly you must know that the Ayc resivour is in the boot ?!

 

[fq-craigus]

I do now lol my dad did mention it could be in the boot earlier but I said I would ask lol
