Thanks for the heads up, I guess I'll just have to let the insurance do their thing. What a horrible cold hearted waste, my first car that I've loved for the past 2 3/4 years reduced to nothing but scrap. I will miss her... ='(

They said one of the chassis legs was bent at the back, and with the boot open it does seem like its pushed in on one side, the boot itself doesn't close properly (its held down with strap). I'm not sure if i have the time to properly dismantle it and sell the parts, but it would be a...

Tuesday on the way back from Whitby I was hit from behind by someone who was also hit by a van. Insurance engineers wrote back saying it can't be fixed so they will collect it and scrap it. Could I salvage anything from it like parts or just leave it and wait for a settlement check??

Well so far I've got a list of bulbs to replace the existing ones i have at the moment, but i'm still trying to read up on making the LED arrays for the others. Headlights x4 OSRAM Nightbreakers or Philips WhiteVision HB3 This is probably going to be the closest to white using conventional...

I've been reading up on some stuff. Apparently bulbs can only be E-marked if they are replacing the same type of bulb i.e. halogen for halogen, led for led etc. so does that mean any LED bulbs and home-made LED arrays wouldn't technically be legal? Or does it just depend on how arsey/picky the...

I'm really just after a nice LED white that is bright enough to compensate for the headlight flaws. I've seen some bulbs that say 4200k gives white light and some that say 5000k gives white light so does it vary between brands? Edit: would these do the trick...

Okay, so it would be better to use normal bulb that gives out white light? I've seen one somewhere that is 6000k temp which I think is around white colour, but not sure how bright it is compared to Halford ultra bulbs. Edit: it might actually be around 5000k for white light.

Ive seen so many cars nowadays that have white lights and LEDs that i feel like i want a piece of the action. Here's what i was thinking:- Fitting DRLs in the bottom corners of the lower grille and LEDs in the recesses above the indicators like I've seen on a few Pumas on here. Fitting white...

Spotted coming the other way while i was sat in rush-hour traffic, Black Puma with green stripe on A38 in Erdington, Birmingham. Also had big green 'Puma' logo down the side. Must be on here if not pumapeople.

So I'm planning on doing my own service in about a week's time, I know I want to do the oil, sparks, air filter and brake pads but I'm wondering if there's anything else I could do. It does seem a bit down on power and the suspension on the slightly floppy side. I'm currently toying with the...

Hello people. Its been so long since i posted on here that i forgot all about it. My life has been so busy or lacking in funds that i haven't been able to do much to the car. Most of what has been done has been done by garages and not myself, and i lack the time, energy and weather to do a...

X716 WJO - 80k or so on the clock, though conisdering swapping the alloys for summit in better nick =P

Hey guys, its been a while since i've posted on here. Went down to the local scrappy today to see what there was (been thinking about a budget turbo build). There 2 blue Puma's there that have been scrapped but they both have 1.7 engines in (1 is missing gearbox and starter). Would anyone be...

We glossed over summit like this in one of my lectures, I'm wondering whether i should have left mine in, instead of ripping it out =P

YOU MUST WATCH THIS, SHE HAS SO MUCH TALLENT!!! =D both as a violinist and a dancer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGCsyshUU-A

Halfords do a 3 part roof rack kit for puma, you'll probably struggle to find a cycle carrier that will go on the back so a roof mounted cycle runner on the halfords rack kit is probably your best bet.

PI spoiler http://www.extremeautoaccessories.co.uk/products.php?section=1361 I'm aiming to get either this or the MS design spoiler at some point.

oh oops XD... Saturday then i'm working till 6 so i'll be round sometime after then.

Update on my status: I'm working till 5pm on Sunday so hopefully i'll be able to join you guys for the Noodle bar in the evening =)

The fuse for my cat sensor keeps blowing and turning the engine management light on the dash, still runs fine but a bit baffled as to why it keeps blowing. Wondering if a wire is shorting somewhere or i need a new sensor? (hope not) =/
