    Headlight Bulb Upgrade

    Thanks Dal, I think it's been the 'HB3' that's been confusing me but I should be looking for the 9005 code on the Halfords bulbs?

    Headlight Bulb Upgrade

    For the newbie Puma owners out there, such as myself, please can I confirm the best upgrade Halfords bulbs to get for my 2001 Thunder before I buy the wrong ones? :-( Using the The Halfords website reg plate search Halford's says I need: Halfords (HBU711EB) H11 Extreme Brilliance Car Bulb...

    Seats to high for tall drivers

    Just wondering Andrew, do you have a spikey hair style? Just ask because I'm 6'2" in a 2001 Thunder, so I would presume the same seats, and I'm fine for head room. Probably have 1-2 inches clear but less if my hair is styled upwards :lol: I have my seat fully back which might help considering...

    And now 3 worst features of your Puma.....

    1. Rain water running in to boot when you open it. Howling design flaw :clap: and bloody annoying the first few times is soaks your suit you laid in the boot seconds before :roll: 2. Rear view mirror is far too low, it blocks my view or cars coming out of side junctions so I need to move it...

    Whats the 3 best things about your Puma

    As a long term MK1 MR2 owner (9 years now, personally owned 3 and driven 3 others) I would generally agree with everything you've said. The MK1 MR2 is a fab car, no doubt about it, but I've never driven two the same as they all age differently and have differing states of repair, maintenance...

    Whats the 3 best things about your Puma

    For me tyres are arguably the most important part of your car's handling - I always pay top dollar for branded tyres. But do you mean do I have the same level of grip in my Puma as in my MK1 MR2? Well yes and no but it's not a fair comparison at the moment as the tyres on my Puma are not the...

    XCarLink Bluetooth Streaming - Has anyone tried one?

    Well I'm really after a completely wireless solution for my phone as I'm getting a wireless QI charging dock for my phone and so I really want wireless audio integration with the head unit as well. It's the wireless dream! :grin: So the Grom Bluetooth unit at £99 may be a cheaper alternative...

    XCarLink Bluetooth Streaming - Has anyone tried one?

    Thanks Dal :grin: I'm hoping to use this updated XCarLink to stream music from Google Play Music on my phone and to also relay the Sat Nav and incoming calls through the speakers. I was hoping someone on here might already have one to comment on how well it works but looks like I might be the...

    XCarLink Bluetooth Streaming - Has anyone tried one?

    Hi, has anyone used the XCarLink plugin unit for their existing Puma CD head unit to allow them to stream music from their phone to the headunit and speakers? I am considering it for my Puma as a less nickable and more ascetically pleasing option to replacing the existing unit with a...

    Whats the 3 best things about your Puma

    If I can choose other things I love? The variable speed windscreen wiper - and the remote action and self opening boot

    Whats the 3 best things about your Puma

    Still learning about mine; I've only had it about 5 weeks but so far I would say: 1) Turn in - the best I've ever know, and I'm coming from a MK1 MR2 and before that a 206 GTi 2) Controlled body roll, especially in fast 2nd gear corners on the back roads. 2) Gear stick and gear change. Very...

    Hello from a new Thunder owner!

    Thanks very much for the kind comments! And I suspect my rear driver's side arch might be very much like the one in the picture above under it's fresh paint :lol: Can anyone recommend where I might be able to get rear wing sections from which I could take to a body shop?

    Hello from a new Thunder owner!

    Well I never noticed the two locking wheelnuts! :lol: My word you're observant! I'm in Standish just north of Wigan. Are there any regular club meets held in the area by any chance?
