Hi there, Yup just got my first Puma and I love it. Only thing is I've already spent over £500 in resprays, timing belts and mudflaps! Now I want to do the oil change, sparks and air filter myself - just wanted to check that no special socket is needed to remove the sump plug? And where exactly is the sump plug? Or the air filte for that matter? I've done mini services on other cars before, so I'm not a complete virgin, but I don't want to screw this beauty up!

The sump plug is at the rear of the sump, be careful as it rounds off easily by all accounts.
The airbox/filter is at the front of the engine, on the right hand side nearest to the front bumper, and just unclips as i remember.

depending on the age of sump plug found and type pesonally go a buy a new sump plug before starting this job and a new oil filter both from Ford, plus you can get the oil there too Ford Forumla E 5w30
