Yes, we're gutted Sparkie.... as well as how good the car is, this is the best car enthusiast forum I've ever been on. So will be sad when we're Puma'less... :-( Thanks Damo :pose2: .. yes you're right that pic did sneak through with the number plate on. :grin: This car has now been...

Thanks mate! ........... trust me, we are GUTTED that she has to go :cry: .... but since my redundancy, money is tight, and it's just crazy holding onto the running costs of 2 cars, when there is always 1 sitting on the drive doing nothing. We have 2 young kids so alas the Puma just doesn't...

Hi, Yes, the car is located here at home is County Durham, DH6 2BF... close to the A19 and 5 miles from the A1. :grin:

Hi, My gorgeous silver Puma is for sale, due to financial hardship. It is a 2000, (W) model with 71.5k genuine miles. I bought in on 28th Dec 2011 in perfect condition, with no faults, for £990. But it was due a Timing Belt Change. This was done in Feb, by FORD in Durham, at a cost of...

Hi all, Due to financial circumstances, this lovely Puma, which drives like a brand new car, is now for sale. :-( It will be the hardest car I've owned, to let go of..... but needs must. I will place an entry in the "For Sale" section about it. But briefly it cost £990, but was due a...

Shaping up very nicely indeed oh Evil one! 8-)

Looks like a good solid 'un there, for bicycle money! Well done 8-)

Well Hello! A nice PM from Evil Rob checking in on how I was doing made me get off my butt, and check-in back on the best Puma forum around! The "Project M" project is still going great, although due to work-based busy-ness the car has been unloved and neglected for a few weeks. :-( But all...

Well bearing in mind you can still use an engine flush with these... so add engine flush in usual way, and drain with pump. Oil comes out nice and thin. You can feel the end of the pipe pressing right against the bottom of the sump, so particularly with the flush, you can get a good oil...

Yep mate, exactly the same :grin: ... just that you hand prime the vacuum, as you say instead of risking sucking a mouthful of oil into your mouth! Mine in the 6 litre model, so can handle most oil capacities in 1 go .... (except my Volvo D5 which annoyingly holds 6.2L of oil! :evil:

DOH! .... would help if I spelled it right!..... Sorry folks, it's a PELA Pump, (not Pula!). Here is mine, right after I'd used it to last change the oil in my Volvo:- So it's a pump specifically made to be able to handle oil. They were made originally for use in the marine sector, to...

True - muchly, as I'm going to win the lottery! TNP has an extremely embarrassing CD in their collection.......

Cool, I'm convined ---> Going to go for a full oil change tomorrow with the Carlube stuff. The pennies saved by getting a full oil change for £12 can go towards the Eibach Lowering Spring Kit :ok: (I need to get the project moving again, otherwise it's just putting oil & petrol in the car...

Thanks Topman 8-) .... Unless anyone comes along screaming otherwise, I might just take a punt with this oil. I didn't pick up any today but I need to go back in the next day or two for a Valentines Card for Mrs Longyear, so think I will pick 4L of this oil up. I mean an oil change for £12...

Got mine done last week (full kit + aux belt), at Holiways Ford Dealer, Durham, for £341, so you're paying a straight £40 premium there for being in the South! .. which seems excessive... I don't regret the spend one bit as the service was excellent, the job done perfectly (with a healthcheck...
