    SOLD 2001 Moondust Silver 1.7 - Spares or Repair

    Reduced to £250. Really want to go to a good home. If it doesn't shift soon it will be off to the breakers yard which would be a shame. Sadly after 6 fantastic years as a daily driver we have to let our Puma go to a good home (Y587NRD). Good Points - MOT until mid August. Cambelt last done...

    Week From Hell

    As a daily driver the Puma has been perfect for 6 years. Things have gone wrong but usually fixed at MOT time or can be scheduled. 2 weeks ago a loud whirring began on a Friday. Dropped into trusted garage on the way home who diagnosed water pump and it was booked in for Monday last week, took...

    Puma Body Panels

    OK, so you can get sills from more than 1 supplier these days but still no sign of front wings. We spent a lot on our Puma this MOT to get a lot of the underside welded - some pointed out by the MOT, other areas were a defensive move before things get bad. Rear arch replacements are holding up...

    Expansion tank coolant hose

    Hi, The bottom expansion tank hose was worn through against the alternator pulley. I've made a temp repair but should replace it. Is it unique to the Puma? Thanks.

    Circular carpet 'hatch' for Passenger footwell

    Hi, Now the restoration is complete I noticed we are missing a small circular carpet hatch from the passenger footwell. As a last resort I have a mat I can cut but I would prefer the proper item if anyone has one spare. Thanks.

    Tax Disc

    Started seeing cars without a tax disc and I am not sure what to do when the time comes for the Puma. I don't think it looks 'right'. A lad at work with a 1989 Granada has found a place that will print a replica tax disc for any date (in the past!) and he is getting a 1989 one. Anyone running...

    Manx Kats

    Just came back from a week's biking holiday around the Isle of Man playing with the TT course. We managed to count 9 Pumas including a Millie. That's with a population of less than 100,000. All seemed to have better bodywork than those here in the UK. All would be low mileage as well :grin:

    Rust Speed

    Hi, How quickly does the wheel arch rust spread? Had the Puma 6 weeks and paint is starting to bubble on the 'good' side for the first time. Will need to get some funds together for arches to be cut out and replaced so would be useful to have some idea how long.................. Does it...
