Replaced the seat box trim (the large piece of rubbery sheet that goes under the front seats...well it was rubbery once upon a time but had turned to stone).

Drove from Perth to Norseman.
Drove from Border Village to Port Augusta.
Nothing!
And now the indicators flash on unlocking. They suddenly stopped doing that about a year ago.
Maybe corrugations are good for something after all.

Hi,
2009 Puma. It does funny things if the battery gets disconnected too. Settles down after a while though.
cheers
Arrived home from Perth about noon. 7924km in 18 days, of which seven were in Perth with minimal driving. Problems? End cover of aircleaner came loose and rattled, tightened it properly, no further issues (it was serviced - not by me- just before leaving). High beam stopped working (again) just after being 'fixed', again not by me. Driving lights work though, so no problems. Fuel consumption just under 12l/100km, more accurate when I top up next week. Most driving 100-110kph.
Not too bad for a 33 year old car with over 655,000km on the clock.
Finally back home from my trip and again trying to get this A frame ball joint through the hole far enough to start the nut.
This is as far as I can get it and no matter what I do (jacking, leverage with timber) it will not go any further.

I have reread all the related comments here and am pretty sure I have tried every approach except the G clamp cos I don’t have any big enough.
My next thought is to remove the upper link chassis bolts so I can get the A frame bolt started and then try and get those big bolts back in.
This is driving me nuts
I popped out the upper two bots that you have the nuts just starter on, started the A frame nut then aligned the holes for the two bolts with a screwdriver and popped them back in. Its fiddly but was easier this way.
