Merlin Puma

[vekma]

Thought I would give a little history about my puma and work done

Discovered in June 2010 for sale with 9435 miles

Bag thing was hardly any service history but it was in mint condition with no rust so thought I would risk it.

Tire date codes is 4200 10 years old I know I should replace them but the rears have 7mm tread and look new

Also rear bumper had some bad marks and deep scratches on attempted a re spray which went a bit wrong so found a bumper on ebay for £40 was in OK condition but still on the look out for a better one.

need to do coolant change when 10 in June but to be honest it looks new (pink)
aux belt should be done at 10 as well + routine servicing
poss spark plugs

probably should replace tires cant decide on t1r or parada

passed all mots on electronic register with no advisory since 2006 also passed mot i got done in October


I just hope nothing is building up with it having 1 service in 8 years albeit very low mileage
