Hi,
My 2001 Black Puma is still going but bit by bit things are starting to deteriorate. Still drives nicely but... y’know.
Did a £500 welding session 2 years ago so I know about rust. Replaced clutch, tires, and brake stuff but wondered what’s next and how long it might have left.
Got the MOT coming up in May and wanted some advice if anyones’s got a spare minute or 2..
1. Burning oil smell. After journeys of 45 mins or so.
2. Door open warning light on dash permanently lit.
3. Rear wiper not working.
4. Glove box hinge broken on right hand side.
5. Rusty wheel arches.
6. Cracked plastic radiator front cover grille.
Love my car! & would be sad to have to ditch it.
We all know how little they’re valued at and I’m not very handy at DIY repairs. Wish I was. Willing to try!
Cos they’re great to drive, as we all know.
Cheers,
T
