I am reluctantly selling my loyal puma. This is a Silver V reg that although very much loved needs work on her to restore her bodywork. The engine is sound and is running but I believe she needs some welding underneath in order to get through the next mot. There is no damage other than the...

Hi Doh Thanks for offer of help. I will email him and see if he can remember what it was, if not I will run it over to him. Thanks so much! :-)

Good point yog. Cheaper options first! :cry:

Hey Thanks for replying. I topped it up only last week and its all fine. The spark plugs were replaced before the ICV and my friend looked yesterday and said they looked fine. He said the reading for the alternator was good until i swtiched all things on at the same time and then it just sucked...

Hi All, This is the 2nd time i have posted about this problem. The car stalls when slowing down or stopping. I had the icv cleaned and it done the trick for a while then started again so I had a new one fitted, and yet again it went wrong over the weekend. Seems to be when it is wet/damp or i...

Thanks for info Fatdonger! :grin:

Hi All Just to give you an update, After taking my car to a 2nd garage, they cleaned out the ICV as advised and thank god the little girl is now running like a dream and all for a pittance compared to the £500 odd pound the other garage wanted to replace the Solenoid! If you all lived nearer, I...

Actually that fault code is what we have all been talking about so all good! Originally i was told there was 2 faults but when it was rescanned last night there was only 1. Lets wait to see what the 2nd garage comes up with. Thanks All. :grin:

Hi All I have taken my car to a different garage and have pointed out all the points you guys made! I found out the fault code was P1380..... Any clues? K :grin:

Hmmm Which is it? Split Breather or split vaccuum pipe? Had taking my car to the other garage tonight and was compiling a list of things to check lol! :? :grin:

Everyone, Thank you for taking the time to reply! :grin: I have printed this off and am collecting my car from the garage that currently has my baby and taking it to someone else so that they can check all the points you guys have told me about. I sure hope one of these things work! :grin...

Yippekiay - Many thanks for your response. The garage that has my car has never done one of these before. He has got a 2nd hand solenoid from a puma that has been stripped for spares but he says in order to fit it you have to remove the timing belt etc and then need to replace it as you cant re...

Will do, many thanks :lol:

I too have this issue however my clutch is fine. I have been told after having it scanned that is is a Variable valve timing solenoid that is £240 plus a timing belt replacement plus labour however someone who works for the RAC has said it is unusual that this solenoid would cause the car to...

Hi can someone please help before I have to send my puma to car heaven! A few weeks ago my car starting feeling poorly. When going down through the gears, once the engine reaches 1000 rev's it stalls. This does not happen all the time though however it cannot be driven as the power steering...
