Thread: Potential rubbing points under the bonnet of the Puma

This one I've loosely cable tied up as the smaller hose was rubbing against the power steering reservoir. You can see I've also repositioned the rubber block to move the larger hose off the same reservoir.

In this case (just back from the one above) the clamp was rubbing on the lower hose as it was positioned outside of the cloth abrasive sleeving. I moved the block back and the clamp forward.


Wire under the new conduit I tied up to the bracket. It was sitting against the air-conditioning bleed block.


This pipe I sleeved very early on, think it's been mentioned before as an issue.


I'm a bit worried about this wiring block, but at present can't seem to work out a suitable way to move it away from the other stuff.



This conduit now covers the coolant line that rubs against a bolt head on the edge of the guard. Also in this picture you can see a small rub mark starting on the brake fluid reservoir.


Lastly my take on remedying the rubbing brake fluid reservoir until I can get to the dealer in 3 weeks time (and about 4000km).


Haven't done underneath the vehicle yet, so I'll post up anything more I find.

Yes, about as accessible as the clutch reservoir!

Someone in the design department needs to be given a stern warning for those two items.
