Took my spare wheel and tray out ready to fit the new abs sensor when it arrives, added another coat of hammerite to the boot floor and surrounding areas, and repainted the rear beam

i might take my spare wheel and tray out as i find it pointless extra weight, never had a spare wheel in the focus and lasted nearly 2 years fine.

nah mine fitted fine over the sensor but i had to remove the sensor and then poke it through the spacer before fitting, one was seized in though so had to break to come out, so im refitting the rear abs sensors anyway

i spent close to 2 hours wiggling the f-ing abs sensor thinking it was getting looser, only to find it was the plastic case that was wiggling and the metal bit that sits in the drum was still seized solid fucking things they are

Nice puma that but what made you choose that kind of car??? I'm not being nasty here but I just think its a very feminine kind of car.

needed something cheapish but still capable, saw past the feminine image as i knew the puma was a decent drivers car at a low price
