What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?
- Thread starter Axximilli
- Start date
I replaced the ABS Pump now just got to find a way to bleed it so I have brakes again, damn thing doesn't show up in autoenginuity
Changed the spark plugs today, first time since owning the car and it's made a difference.
The old ones were Champion and none of them had a gap of 1.3mm. 1.6, 1.4, 1.6, 1.1, 1.1, 1.1
Put a set of these in http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_cougar_25v6_170ps_spark_plugs_f_KITSPARK8_c_260.htm
Took it out for a test drive and it seems to be running smoother, should have done this job ages ago!

Went for a proper drive. Still got that bit of a hesitation, but nice to be out in it on some proper roads. Found I have a left front puncture, so looks like a trip to the tyre fitters.
Had a mini valet done on the girl put in the coin mat and fixed the brake wear sensor. Well chuffed with myself although very easy jobs but hey its a start. Thanks to Backseateducation for the coin mat and Quicksilver fo the sensor. Next job spoiler which I have bought from Scunnycougar but mayneed advice on that one

Good going, mate. Great stuff. You officially have The Bug.
You might all be meeting me soon when I get this spoiler
Well I'm up for some modding (of your car, not the forum) when you're ready. If nothing else, based on your location I hope you'll make Combe next year?
Embarrassed to say i have just hoovered a load of grass out of the car-
its been there since Coobe

Ugh. Same here.
Don't care as long as we get it. Our girls are fine...mostly.
Attatched some more sticky items. Went for a drive. Good job I took 10 litres of water with me
- that should be rectified soon though.

Finally got round to fitting the battery cover that I bought in the group buy about, what, 5 or 6 years ago?
Looks good Rich; it doesn't pay to be too hasty.
Are you still looking for some un-used 'COUGAR' letters?

Pretty much sorted now, Andy. Kully managed to unearth a set he had buried in his spares box and I also found 'new old stock' Ford and Mercury spares place in Cincinnati that had a few sets, so I bought two just in case!
