i'll put some up at the weekend :)

Getting a company car so my love affair with the Puma has to end I would like to be able to keep it as a weekend car but lack of home parking space and standing costs means I can't quite afford to be a two-car person. general spec: moondust silver, 113,000 miles, 9-spoke alloy version...

..as the title says, these are the codes from the diagnostic test after i took the money pit to garage after getting just 290 miles from full tank (normally 360-400, same driving habits) and developing a stuttering idle fluctuating between 600-1200 revs.... these are the codes from the...

got a brand new car back last night! anti roll bar mounts changed as well as everything else listed above... call mid-way through afternoon to advise one of the springs had snapped, so an additional £70 for a pair of new ones. It really does feel like a new car. I'm the only one responsible for...

sorry dude ;) it goes in tomorrow :/

cheers, it's a place in Pboro i've used several times, 'Dal on here recommended and has used him before also. not been disappointed so far... could well be the bushes he was referring to, so perhaps factor out the cost of 2 new wishbones and assume he's replacing the bushes?

going into the garage next week to hopefully eliminate all the various creaking, grinding and jolting sounds, the steerings habit of being influenced hard left or right by every imperfection in the road and the feeling of falling off a cliff on even the faintest hint of a speed or road bump...

cheers guys, mine's a W reg 2000 1.4. I'm a complete luddite with all things mechanical so literally everything I ask advice for on here is word-for-word from my mechanic... when talking about it having potential MOT failure rot levels, and high cost of replacing, I think he said something...

hi all... had the puma in garage couple weeks ago to have all rear suspension bushes replaced. Got a waring that my rear axle was, in his words, rotting away. He waxoyled it up for me, but is convinced it won't survive it's next MOT in May. He suggested the work to replace it, parts/labour...

i've tried searching the forum for solutions, but have only found a a few threads relating to possibly similar occurences, but it's hard to tell because the youtbe clips trying to capture the sound in question also capture many of the puma's other delightful creaks and noises... :/ basically...

oops, forgot to post thanks for a fully functioning heater control panel!

no, fans off completely, and yeah, it definately gets very hot to the touch, faint burning plastic smell sometimes...

mine's just gone, plan to get it replaced in next week or two, but in the meantime..... when it's not possible to have the old fashioned air-con on (windows right down!) i've been putting the air flow dial to forward dash vents and closing them off.... but obviously the hot air is trapped and...

balls and arse... how do I get that fixed??

as my puma appears to be purging its bulbs weekly (2 indicatiors, headlight and rearlight gone in succession over the last month) I've noticed my digital odometer/tripometer isn't backlit (like the dig clock) anymore.... but not sure if it ever actually was? can anyone advise if it should be...

Work I've had done - front d/s wheel bearings replaced (advisory following full service) rear suspension mounts replaced Computerised wheel alignment Bonnet respray Went through it's MOT in May with just one advisory. All in all, service and MOT aside, I've spent no more on it than the...

^^ thoughts shared. When I asked the site rep where the bulk of the social housing was, she pointed and said 'drive down that road, look left/right... you'll spot the street!' Sure enough, second on the left the front gardens were mostly overgrown with assorted cots, beer kegs and all sorts...

morning all... soon to move to a lovely new development that just happens to have a social housing quota nearby. Checking the developments community website, I noticed an 'eCop' newsletter alert advising about heightened police presence in the area due to a spike in vehicle thefts (was back in...
