Hi Richard. Did you ever find a solution for this? Mine are getting pretty rusty and it would be nice to do something before they create a problem. I have wondered about just removing the rusted part and re-sealing the rubber, but I've not figured out whether that would cause problems,

Do you have the rubber seals below the two door windows? If so, have they started to bubble with rust at the rear end, or still smooth?

Wow. You certainly did get lucky. If it's really in such great condition, then it probably is on track to be one of the best remaining examples and maybe should be considered a classic in the making. What spec is it? Can you share pictures? I'm sure plenty of people will be interested

Does anyone know whether it is possible to find a few of these? I have one brand new one but the other three are looking pretty messy and it would be nice to tidy them up

Do you have the dashboard clock?

There are lamps behind there? :-) I thought it was just a fun challenge to use it in the dark. Another job for the list...

It certainly seems I'm in a minority by even considering electrification as potentially desirable. I'm not really surprised by that though. I might feel differently about an FRP though. Can't say that engine noise (or any noise) has ever been a positive for me personally, but I'm clearly an...

That's pretty much what I was thinking, including about seats and spare. And old Leafs are getting pretty cheap already, though I've not really explored the specs - batteries at least are a bit limited on the older ones. Or perhaps a future conversion kit for another more common model might not...

I agree that maintaining the handling is important - not much point doing it if it ruins what's best about the car. I'm not about to jump into this any time soon, if ever. I don't have the mechanical experience or the set-up to do it myself. But my own expectation is that we'll see the...

Pity he stopped posting. Would be interesting to know how it turned out.

I imagine this might stir up some very contrasting views, but I've vaguely been thinking about whether I might one day look to convert my Millennium to battery/motor, once I feel like taking on a project. As I work in smart energy strategy, EVs have long been of interest, and I've consulted to a...

Everyone called it correctly (and even I guessed it was most likely) - the battery was stuffed. And I'm told wasn't even really the right type for a Puma - and it didn't even fit properly! Now starts without even a hint of hesitation with a new one fitted. So onwards until the next problem...

Thanks John. It's not the earth lead as I fitted one a few weeks ago (the original was just a remnant at each end when I got it). I'm hoping it's just the battery as I've no way to lift it to do anything more challenging. Low battery was one candidate reason for some of the other problems I've...

Funnily enough, I inherited my Millennium from my dad, and he also had a 'Baggie'. But that was a Matra Bagheera (which very few people have ever heard of :-). No idea what he called his Puma though, if anything.

I'm still slowly trying to improve the Millennium I inherited in the Autumn, but with very limited practical experience and tools, and limited enthusiasm to touch anything much while the weather is cold and wet. Many small things to do, but also a few things that feel like 'warning signs'. But...

I bought the same Nightbreakers for a little less on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FY4WS8J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 And I made a fair effort to clean the headlights inside and out. But I still find mine to be pretty hopeless to be honest. Driving on unlit...

Hi @GreenEyedPuma. My fuel light seems to work correctly. I have run the fuel down on multiple occasions and it comes on as expected when the gauge is getting close to the empty mark. In practice, I can only add 32 litres at this point so presumably there is still 8 litres, or 20%, in the tank...

Hi @CherryVimto . Did you ever get to the bottom of this C1967 code? I have it on my Millennium and although I'm not aware of any symptoms I'd still like to resolve it if possible. Thanks

I bought a similar tool to the one you recommended, but from Amazon since I wanted it quicker, and that listing was ended anyway. But I found that I couldn't use it since I don't have a 1/2" wrench of any form and I'd assumed it would be 3/8. So, I bought another tool, which was of the...

So, after buying two different sensor removal tools (a tall one with hex on top, and a 'crowfoot' style as suggested above), and getting the engine hot enough that I had to be careful about burns, all I managed to do was chew up the bolt somewhat. No movement at all. I finally gave up and took...
