Good shout thanks, I'll feel how it turns before hitting the starter.

Ford Puma 2000 W-Reg 1.7 Red £150 Bought this back in early 2013 as a mate had the same and was most impressed with his. Great fun, ran it until the MOT expired in late summer 2013 and it has sat on the drive ever since. Mileage I recall was 73,000 with Ford Service history and a stamp for...

Hi Luke Yes, still for sale.

2000 Puma 1.7 serviced about 400 miles ago with genuine Ford oil filter and quality synthetic oil, cambelt done by Ford at 56000, Ford service history. MOT until 20th August 2013, Tax end of July 2013, 74000 miles mint interior, nice body, odd parking ding and n/s arch slight rust but better...

There's an almost 5 seater on my drive which has over 200bhp & does 0-60 OK :P

Thanks, I wasn't sure on the silver bar & grill initially and removed the lower mesh grill but the remaining combination has grown on me massively, won't be changing it, unlike the number plate! :grin:

Forgot about this! Here's a couple of pics as promised, it's going strong & loving every minute of it, utter bargain! :grin:

Lights still dim with the new battery?

Think I read there's a switch on the clutch pedal that can play up? Don't hold me to that, it's a vague recollection but think it had something to do with engine running problems?
