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??

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...

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...

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) =/

So theres a Valve that opens and closes that allows hot water to flow into the matrix, however from looking at it when its on i can't tell when its open or closed. If i can see the valve sticking out is on hot or cold? and vise versa

So i bought this little bluetooth reader off eBay about a week ago and plugged it in to the port, it powers up and connects to my phone okay but it can't seem to connect to the ECU. This could mean one of 2 things:- A. The scanner can't pick up on the J1850 PWM protocol, in which case i'd need...

I'm going a bit paint mad lately what with doing my brake callipers and spare wheel cradle, I now want to paint other stuff in the engine bay. Whats the best way to prep the inlet manifold (apart from cleaning) for painting and what paint should i use? (should be red BTW ;) )(or should it be...

Has anyone fitted one of these, or summit similar/better? Can't seem to find anything else like it. http://www.extremeautoaccessories.co.uk/products.php?section=1135

Seen quite a few pumas milling around just as i'm finishing putting mine back together. Theres a black one up the road from me (L9 DKT), a green one went past which sounded like it had holey exhaust XD and saw an FRP going round A38/Ashbourne road roundabout, headed off west bound out of Derby.

Hey, i'm trying to change the clutch on my puma but i've had alot of teething problems as alot of the bolts have been stuck fast by rust and other stuff, may have made a few mistakes too, mainly the bolts connecting the exhaust down pipe to the manifold have all sheered off trying to undo them...

I'm going down to a local breakers tomorrow to see if i can scrounge some parts to work on. Have a list of stuff and i was just wondering if anyone knows roughly how much each thing might be. Here is the parts i'm looking to get:- Fiesta Ghia X clock and temp sensor Front Fog light switch...

I've been doing some research into superchargers when i came across some electric ones of eBay that just bolt onto the existing air intake as a cheap way to provide forced induction. However further reading up on them show that they have absolutely no meaningful effect what so ever, they are...

Having a think i quite like the idea of having 2 exhaust pipes out the rear, purely just for looks over anything else, like the picture below for example: http://www.madmotors.co.uk/bodykits-spoilers-14000/body-kits/ford/ford-puma/venodesign-ford-puma-racing-rear-lip.html Although i quite...

Thought about getting these for the trip to download festival considering i'm taking 3 other people, camping stuff, food, drink, clothes etc. Basically a full load and some more in roof box Suspension Coil Spring Raisers Gap size 18-25mm Would it be worth it though?

I've noticed sometimes that my puma sometimes struggles to pull away initially from a stand still but once past about 3000rpm its fine. Most of the time it happens when i have passengers which is understandable since it's extra weight, but sometimes even on my own going for a quick start it...
