Puma Millenium today

Hello All, happy to be with you. I'm in Worcestershire.
Bought a Puma Millenium, were quite sceptic...then I drove it: fabolous!
I had many Alfa (V6 too), the Puma has nothing less, apart the weight, and that is very good :grin:

As some here, the damn archers. I'll sort it out.

Hi Ivan, Welcome and great choice... k:
Seems "its Millies time " around here lately, two in a matter of days :grin:

Thanks. I'd been more into black, but when you touch the Recaro seats doesn't care other.
The rear shocks are completely dead, any suggestion what I can buy?
I don't want lower it.

I haven't swapped mine so can't really say... it also depends a bit on whether you happy with standard/comfort or want to go sport/firmer? If standard then I think the mainstream brands such as Monroe/KYB are a safe bet, there's always Bilstein
B8's of course too. Hopefully someone who has tried others will be able to give you a steer k:

Welcome to the site

Will be looking out for you .I'm also in Worcestershire but not always in a Puma.

I see you have some other toys, nice! If you drive near Evesham drop a msg. The yellow is very easy to notice btw...

I'm just outside Evesham towards Norton.Not all the vehicles are in UK some are in France.

Where is your Millenium?
Just find out that the aircon doesn't work, ok is not urgent in UK :lol: Does yours works well?

Welcome along....another "millie" cool, best one to have :grin:

Never likely to need the aircon in England, now if you bring it to Scotland thats another matter, need it all summer up here :lol:

BTW, why does it say 1.4 under model on your profile thingy?

Fixed. Now is Millennium

I had a check up to the rear axle and all the problems I feel aren't the suspensions as I supposed, but the bushes that are completely gone. So next week I have it new.
At the garage at the same time there were a nice FRP purple in colour

What garage do you use in Evesham?

Sir Anthony in South Littleton

Got the new bushes, now drives almost as it should: the rear axle follows the front axle. Now I can also hear the knocks from the left front wheel :-( ok, I'll fix it too with some relax.

Two Pumas ready to run

Good to see another Millie on the fourm

Found a set of alloys I like, are a little vintage but ok for now, much better than the prosy original.
Drove enough to say that I prefer the 17", apart the aesthetic I felt it more stable in motorway.
It could be a little slower in the zizag (e.g. if need to avoid a deer or you are chased by a Police car).
However is a light car, I appreciate have less brisk response from my Puma especially in wet condition.
