No longer is it a game of puma roulette ... Now only the Blurple Beast remains.... Read further down. I thought I'd start this thread as a car diary to start with, possible "project" in a few months time. So here is my rant... I'm sure after the first post, posts will get significantly shorter...

Hi people, after having a short blip back over to cougar ownership I'v decided to get another puma, again. Visited a £300 "bargain" puma leather seat edit. which "Just needed a battery" and tax. After jump starting her, nearly putting my finger through a sill, setting off the immobiliser and...

Few engine bits from a 1998 1.7. All tested, working unless stated. I'd like to get rid as a job lot as they're taking up space in my (not very happy) grandads shed :) These are some of the parts included, there are more but can't think off top of my head what they are Bottom end (with knock)...

Thinking about selling up as I'v got a new job which requires a lot of travel. Puma prices seem to vary greatly even though many of them are the same condition/miles on paper at least. So I thought I'd ask you guys what I should sell mine for roughly if I do. Blurple colour 1998 T reg 87k miles...

My cars idle has been pretty shoddy so decided to get a 2nd hand icv from a breakers, Just whacked it on and and started car up and its idling at 3-4k! :/ Something I'v done or is the the thing knackered? Anything thing I could give the new/old one a clean up with also?

Looking to get a budget exhaust system as the quietness of my puma is making me relatively sad :( . I'v just bought a cheap racetube in standard fit 2" bore, but looking now for a back box. Browsing ebay at the direct fit puma ones there doesn't seem to be much choice, or their stupidly...

Anyway, just took it out for a spin, engine heated up, car heated up fine... untill I took it past 40mph... as soon...

Hi folks, I'm Alex. Iv had a few fords in the past mondies, escort, 5 V6 cougars so I'm no stranger to the marque, I just got rid of a mk2 1.8 Zetec Mondeo, and although it served a purpose it was very dull indeed. So I decided to get something smaller, slightly better on fuel and just more fun...
