Made the mistake of letting her indoors have a go behind the wheel of MY puma. After 10 minutes it became quite clear a second kat will be required as soon as funds allow. Mind you she will need seat protector so the dog go too. :-D

Ford recommend at least 30min per month. Don't know what Puma aircon is like but using the aircon on my old 406 increased fuel consumption by about 10%.

I was thinking about putting spokes on mine, coz I like the look. But a few weeks back I was stuck in a jam on the M25 car park, looking around me there were spokes on everything, even white van man had some on his. Decided to avoid the crowd and stick with the props.

I was thinking in terms of increasing the likelihood of the back-end switching on you if you are unfortunate enough not to be able to brake in a straight line.

Have been skimming through my Owners manual having just picked it up from ebay. Noticed in the Maintenance and Care section that ford recommend that the air con is run for at least half an hour per month, does anyone know why?

Apologies if this is a stupid question or has been answered on another thread but here goes anyway. What effect does upgrading front brake callipers/discs have on brake balance front vs rear ?

yet another common silver :-D, welcome aboard

Even tho' normal current draw may be small, still include (suitably small ) fuses, they're there to protect your wiring in the event of a fault, better a fuse blowing than a wiring fire

8) Didn't know that either, wish I'd seen this last night, just driven 6 hours trough showers and spray with wipers being too fast (normal setting) or too slow (intermittent) damned irritating.

Good to see another Pacific Green owner on board :cheer: , I was feeling a bit lonely

Probably not a good strategy, you could end up with a fuse that is too big for the job and not be adequately protected against a fault in the neons. You can pick up a multimeter for 6.99 at Maplin http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=37279" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

Shouldn't that be divide by 14.4v, Power = volts * current Safer to divide by12 as battery and alternator voltage will fall when under load (e.g. headlights on, screen heaters on etc etc)

Glad you liked it. Having grown up with star trek (hinting at my age) this is a must see for me, will try to catch it before the end of the week.

Hi Pumae, Were the kick plates these: http://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/puma-sill-protectors-part-no-k88-more-details-i850.html If so how good was the adhesive tape supplied

Just been concerned about the Swine Flu in Britain. So I've phoned the hotline for the latest. Bit of a waste of time as all you hear is crackling

Welcome aboard, from a fellow West Country newbie, I'm just over the Tamar in Cornwall. Sorry but I've upset the colour synergie, My Puma is pacific green. 8)

Thanks Dal, I have PM'd Dan, we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I got a quote from Adrian Flux via web/email earlier in the week. Tried to call them twice to discuss the quote. I got put in a queue for an underwriter, where I stayed until the call timed out on both occasions. OK, I thought, I'll try the call back service, they never called me back. I will...

Picked her up yesterday. Took son for a trip around a few local bends. Two big, really big smiles, need I say more. :D Here she is:

The garage (Ford Dealers in Launceston, Cornwall (Sprys)) have loaned me Focus 'til Saturday as I have to drive up to Suffolk at 5 am tomorrow, returning around 11pm Friday. So although I am disappointed I couldn't collect the Puma today, Sprys have done all they could to help me out. Just hope...
