Hello. Long story short... crazy ass woman takes a blind bend to fast, loses control and strays over the road and wipes out my driver side mirror (thankfully I had a driving instructor who taught how to corner properly, so I was tucked right into the corner on my side of the road :roll: ). My...

I have a virtually identical problem. Originally I could set the alarm using both the key in the lock and remotely. However the drivers side stopped working with the key. The remote stuff was fine, but opening the car from the driver's side with the key in the lock did not disengage the alarm...

'98 1.7 Puma with non standard alloys. £150 ish. :twisted:

My first car car was and still is a Puma. I've had it for ten years now. I've driven other cars, but nowt comes close to its handling. I replaced teh standard '98 alloys with 17 inch types, and it's a dream to throw around a corner. One of the most amazing experiences of my life was dribing...

Well my garage did a stirling job... came in at about £300 plus they replaced the Aux. Belt Tensioner Bearing. I am breathing easier now... just an offside bearing and CV to replace :roll: Oh and the corroded brake pipes... brake hosings... the Service... the Hego Sensor :twisted: :| I...

Black Puma's are by far the best! Although they're a bugger for stone chips :|

Yeah I am not entirely sure now either. Damn! Thanks for the advice on the Lambda Sensor. I've sent off some queries and I'll post back in here with what goes on :)

OKies, is this the Lambda Sensor? http://www.projectpuma.com/gallery/image_page.php?album_id=116&image_id=818 ...and finally, I believe the "tens" are the two bolts on the item just to the left of the red cylinder bit in the middle. It is a square peice of metal, with a round piece of metal...

First of all, sorry for not checking this thread sooner! The short answer is I have no idea mate. I asked the mechanic to have a look as part of my service. the reposne was that it had been fixed by tidying up some loose wires. That said, one month later and the problem has come back in a...
