Haven't totally absconded by the way...

Its with genuine sadness and a heavy heart that I'm selling my Puma. :-( Work commitments (much more milage) means that a 1.7 Puma just isn't a financially viable option. MOT due mid September, literally taxed it - so just over 6 months left. Price? I'm not sure.. Will get photos up next...

Uniroyal Rainsport 3's get my recommendation. Great for all weather and generally available for about £35 a corner.

I suppose the Puma probably feels quicker? And presumably the Puma is better in the bends?

Yeah, got lucky. Local breaker had a Puma, went to have a look. Got both full headlights and some centre caps for my propellers (better condition) for £50.. Reasonable?

Picked up some spotless headlights today.. my fix never was quite right as you can tell.. old on the left, new on the right..

Just as a note - is the ST170 Focus the same to 60 as a Puma 1.7?

Hi all, So I have my '99 1.7 Puma due it's MOT next month.. I'm prepared for a good couple of hundred quid in costs. My "project" thread is here - http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24986" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; From last years MOT I have the following...

You might find some useful info from my progress thread - http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24986" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; WELCOME. :grin:

So - 6 weeks on and nothing further to report. Reliable, fun and nice and clean. Happy as I could be with it.

Thumbs up for Rainsport 3's here - had two on the front of my 1.7 for a few months.

Removal of the spare tyre and carrrier and holder should say you about 15kg or so? But that's off the back end - dont really want any more persuasion to lose the backend in the wet..

As I've read quite a few times on this forum.. Ford did pretty well with than standard setup on the Puma - to fix something that's not broken (at the cost of considerable money) seems a waste.
