ha all i forgot to introduce my self

just gna say hi to every one. I bought my other half an early 1.4 puma about a month ago, but after the drive home their was no way she was geting it so i bought her a rover metro muhaha. I usualy drive big cars and never realy gave pumas a second glance but now im hook. Ive all ready started upgrading a few bits on it and gave it a good service and an induction kit but plan on keeping the body standard as they look good as they are. Im a profesional detailer and ive gone to every lengh to make my puma look brand new inside and out. I live in liverpool and every other puma ive seen round here doesnt seem to be lookd after it a bit of a shame .ive allready spoke to some helpfull pepole on here thanx guys

Welcome aboard :thumbs:

Welcome to the club! I'm only down the A41/M53 from yourself. I've had a Rover Metro years ago but the rust issue on Rovers is really bad and you barely see a Metro or any other Rover for sale anymore. I prefer my Puma and it's fast for a 1.7. k:

im in speke hewy but i am from birkenhead. Its is a metro 1.4 gsi model its quicker than my puma but its still a rot box haha theys loads of rovers about for sale all with blown head gaskets coz their turd. Back in the day in ellesmere port everyone had a cav sri or gsi

Welcome

Can't help but think of this..

Hahahaha

welcome!

I am looking for a 1.7 rich i had a freind chek the 1.4 out and it is going to need over a grand for the next mot so she can have it until its dead its still looks brand new and runs brand new though. Im holding out for a minter

Hi mate,

I'm only 1 week into puma ownership too and I'm local also - Live in Little Sutton... I managed to find what seems to be a bargain!! paid £500 for a Melina blue 1.7 thats got 12 months MOT and 6 months tax. Drives spot on!! Slight judder from what I think is the rear engine mount but I'll get round to that soon - oh and it needs lowering!! looks like a 4x4!!!

There was a squeak from the aux belt but I've replaced that already and now the engine sounds like new again. Only other issues are the usual rear arches are starting to go and its had a minor front bump and the gaps around the bonnet and lights are all to c0ck...

Deffo get a 1.7 for yourself if you can though - cracking motors if they've been looked after...

Hey Gav! Welcome to the group! If you see a green Puma with scratches down the drivers side its mine. I'm always up for a chat and to help out. That includes you Stu. k:

Thanx lads , i gave my mate a lift home from work in runcorn just then (im a pro valeter by the way) and i hit a round about at a normal speed but it was wet an my pumas rear end kickd out my mate cackd his grundys whils i took advantage of the little misshap and managed to drift nearly all the way round the roundabout haha wasnt expecting the little puma tohamdle like that .awsome

Ignore my bad spelling by the way i never went to school 8)

I did that in a Mondeo I owned a few years ago Stu. It happened by Chester Business Park and I nearly lost my boxers, the car and a lamp post. I always take my speed a bit lower when its wet when going round a roundabout. By the way, how much do you charge for valet? Don't worry about the spelling! There is a lot worse spellers online. :lol:

I was going slow matey just had my tyrs dressd not good in the wet haha.

Hewy an 50 for a full valet and autoglym hd wax thrown in with an after care pack four hour job anytime kido anytime
