Update. Spoke to furniture clinic and it needs new panels as they’ve ripped. They said it’ll cost £800 to put right which doesn’t seem right. Going to try and find another way. Replaced rocker cover gasket today to fix the oil leak. Hoping to really get going on fixing her up this year

Hi All I am working (slowly) on my Ford Puma Millennium and am now starting to fix the chairs. The seatbelt has worn the seat as normal. I have someone who can replace but I cannot track down any leatherette that is the correct colour. Has anybody done this before? Any tips appreciated...

Soooo update on this project. I sold the car to a nice chap who was going to bring it back to life as finances didn't allow me to do so... but after fixing all of the arches and the heating, he auctioned it on eBay and I managed to win it back! So my millennium is back on my driveway with a...

Hun tall Working on my new project Millennium Puma and heating is stuck on. I have changed HCV (first for pattern and then for Genuine Ford part). I have also sourced another heater control panel. I've now left the cap off water and run for 20 mins, squeezing pipes to try and remove any air...

Hi All! I stumbled across an advertisement about a year ago for a Ford Puma Millennium. After looking at the ad (I had a Fiesta at the time) I realised that it was my old car that I parted with a few years earlier. I had always intended on keeping the car, but sadly finances would not allow...

So a quick update on this one. Thames Valley Police made contact with me on Thursday and have just been making a statement this evening with them. They are working for Oxford CID and seem to think that they may have caught the guy in question. I'm going to make contact with Micki who said...

Excellent - I'm sold - I'll buy the seat! Thanks!

OK so turns out her seats are BLUE...but ebay ad they are black. Dal - did you check the link above? Do you think they might just be blue? Thanks

To confuse matters more, the lady selling me the car has just said that the seats are BLACK. Think I'd better wait until I see the car to make sure that it all works out.

My last one was blue leather interior...I've just not seen a black interior before. Wikipedia (although not always reliable) ' The Millennium Edition Puma featured eye catching Zinc Yellow paintwork, and an 'Alchemy Blue' (dark/navy blue) leather interior with Recaro seats. A numbered badge and...

Hi All, I'm picking up my Millennium Puma on Friday this week. The seller has sent me a photo and the driver's seat bolster has a large hole in it and I am toying between replacing the seat and having it repaired. My question is this - I was under the impression that Ford only ever made blue...

Hi Guys - just to let you know that I am keeping an eye on this series of posts and I will update you as soon as I have some info. Police, eBay, banks...nobody has been in touch in the last fortnight since I first lodged the complaint. Will keep you posted...still Pumaless!

Appreciate your support on this... I have a few things left to try myself

Just need to wait until nearer the end of the auction - otherwise he can cancel bids :-) Think you can surpass by £100k?!

Anyone fancy bidding on his Ford Mustang... I'm going to bid £100k so if anyone tops me good luck to you ;-) (on a serious note, if eBay won't interject, I'm going to make sure that nobody else will fall for it)...
