Y reg, 100,000 miles. Running fine. MoT due 6/10/16. There is some corrosion and the clutch won't last another 12 months apparently so it's not viable for me. :( Sad to see it go but I think it is time. Had it for 5 years and will miss it. I will accept £100, or an offer because I would rather...

Does anyone know what the oil light means if the oil level is correct? It has come on, sometimes it flashes and sometimes it is constant. It it running a bit bumpy at low speeds too and sounds a bit spluttery. When it first came on I checked the level and it was low so I topped it up and thought...

I have finally got around to fitting my new halfords ultra brilliance headlight bulbs, had to look on here to figure out how to get the headlights out - and now they don't fit. The plastic 'flange' at the base of the bulb is bigger than the old one and doesn't fit in the hole. Has anyone else...

I thought while I'm here I would get advice on my rubbish-headlight situation. My headlights are really poor, should I buy some 'new' ones, or can I clean mine? I saw something on here but it seems like a lot of work and too easy to make a mistake (inside the unit), so is it worth a go? - any...

I had my keys stolen recently from my house, but I have a spare. I am having to take my ignition fuse out every night as someone has my key and knows where the car is. I think the cheapest option so far is to get the 'spare' key reprogrammed with the car, so the old one wont work. A local Ford...

Hi Guys, my 1.7 had started to rev like mad while I am driving, I notice it when I change gear and the revs go up not down. It has done it a couple of times, and then gone back to normal. Today though it was mental. In the past, driving had kept the revs down, but today it was making me go...

Is this the right topic area to help I wonder. I posted recently (general puma area) that I started using a touch-up kit, and now have a patch of primer on my boot which I don't know how to sand/smooth it satisfactorily. The kit (Halfords) says to use the tool/pad supplied, which is pathetic...

Hi, I bought one of those touch up kits from halfords and yesterday I was just going to 'have a look' but started scraping off a little patch of rust and 'wrinkled' paint, I then put on some primer (with the 3-bristle brush), then I did another coat. The instructions then say to use the special...

I set off for work today and the radio wasn't on. I pressed the button and nothing happened. The display is blank, so not asking for the code, and what else is there to press except the big button - I think I pressed everyting. I cleaned it yesterday and actually cleaned the grungy knob with a...

My paintwork is dull, and the scratches seem more obvious. I am itching to get it looking nice now the weather has improved. I have a few questions though; 1) what colour is my car? I have the lovely green, but there is bound to be more than one - I understand there is a plate under the bonnet...

I thought I would treat myself to a new set of mats and have just been browsing ebay where lots are on offer. I notice that in the pic of the mats that are tailored to a puma, they are different shaped to another set of 'tailored' mats?! I don't know what shape is the best as my current mats...

My rear suspension is sometimes noisy and sometimes not!? At the moment it creaks and groans all over the place, but my mechanic had a look and said there seems to be nothing wrong with it. ] It doesn't always make noise (unless I just don't notice it so much sometimes) but it can't be right...

Yes, that's right. I just thought I would share that with you. I got one today and it works fine (not the remote locking, but it has the programmable chip thing to start the car).

Does anyone know where I can get a spare key? I don't have remote locking but apparently there is something programmed in the key that is needed to start the engine (otherwise it just opens the door). Do I need to take it somewhere so they can get a code thing from my car to programme a new key...

Hi everyone, I have been enjoying your site and my puma for a few months now, but this is my first post. As of yesterday, my radio (original) started to turn off, then on again, then off... it can do it for a few minutes and then be totally fine again. Today it wouldn't switch on, or stay on...
