As per this listing http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Puma-1-6-1-7-Performance-Exhaust-Race-Tube-2-YEAR-WARRANTY-Hoffmann-/350692661862?fits=Model%3APuma&hash=item51a6e95a66:m:mi9Cn9D3wAYf8UWgKhdUlvQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I bought this at the beginning of the year but...

Sold. The guy said he plans to keep it for a while and get the rust sorted so hopefully it will survive.

Price reduced to £650. We'd much rather it went to someone on here as we love this little car and would like it to be looked after rather than scrapped after a couple of years. Any interest?

WX02 VMO "Vimto" now up for sale. Advert will appear on the forum when mods accept it :cry:

After 3 and a half more than happy years motoring in 'Vimto', time has come to move her on :cry: Although mechanically excellent it's the bodywork that lets her down, and we really don't want her to suffer the 'end of life runaround' treatment or worse, so we'd love for her to go to someone on...

Definitely have been! The past couple of weekends it's been down to the workshop, some 78 miles each way through Kent and West Sussex's country A and B roads. I've ticked a few jobs of the list, stripped the lights down to clean and demist them and uprated/renewed the bulbs. It seems I can't...

Strange. Before I saw the responses on this I asked the other half to pick up these 581 bulbs (reason I was having trouble is that very few places seem to refer to them as P21W/PY21W), these having the offset pins etc as I described. Needed to take the headlights out anyway so offered them up...

KR51 NKK - Magnum Grey 1.7 just sold to a guy in Surrey IIRC WX02 VMO - Moonstone Silver 1.7 still owned by us

Sorry for the really stupid question but I'm getting a bit confused by conflicting info on the web. I've done a search on here that says they're PY21W bulbs, are these the same as 581 bulbs, with the offset pin fitting? Just tried to change the sidelight bulb, took the indicator bulb out of...

It's been a funny couple of years for 'Vimto'. We did a little bit of work to it and basically just enjoyed it up to Feb 2014 when it half unexpectedly failed it's MOT. Not so much unexpected that it failed, but when I drove it back to the workshop to patch the sills I didn't expect the rear...

Bit of an odd one this but thought someone on here might be interested in them for something a (little) bit different, assuming they fit. Saab 9000 Anniversary wheels, manufactured by Ronal, Minilight style. 4x108 PCD 15x6" ET33 65.1mm centre bore Had these wheels on my 9000 before changing...

Thanks Richard and all. I am a very novice welder currently, but I have the other half's Mini in the workshop currently doing both inner and outer sills and floor corners, boot floor and a little on the front. I also have the Viva that has extremely limited panel availability so making repair...

I'm not sure they'd even be able to do a plate over the top type repair in the area that all the rot is. That said I'm sure some cowboys would find a way to. If that does happen it will be sold, although I don't think my girlfriend or I would be happy to do that to someone else. It'll be a...

Don't think the FRP shell is going to solve the headache unfortunately :lol: Looks like we're going to 'borrow' the other-half's brother's Thunder with a view to buying it over time, since it's been sitting doing nothing. I really don't need another car but OH doesn't know what she wants to do...

Seems we bought a lemon :( Had a second MOT under our ownership on Thursday and other than a front tyre it only failed on corrosion to rear of drivers sill. Fine, not a massive issue. Last I looked I knew there were bubbles but it was solid, a few patches and it would be fine. Took it to the...
