After owning my Puma for 18 months the revs started hanging a couple of days ago sometimes as high as 4000 rpm which is not good at traffic lights/roundabouts, I searched the forum for a cure and tried the free fix first which has been mentioned on the forums. I disconnected my battery for 30...

1 Handling. 2 Fantastic looking car I wanted one ever since the first time I saw one, a red 1.7 on Guide roundabout Blackburn. 3 Acceleration, brings a big grin to my face.

Some nice Puma's in there but I don't like the green one's or the Puma's with ugly black steel wheels. The purple Puma looks interesting. Thanks for the link Frank. 8-)

I take it the powers that be have repealed the law that makes it an offence to not display a current tax disc? Mines staying in the window and when I next tax it the receipt is going in the window.

Welcome JPS, lots of how to guides on the site which I have found to be very useful. :-)

Some wave some don't, thanks for the friendly wave and smile I received from a blonde lady driving a grey Puma in Rossendale last Friday. :grin:

Hi welcome to the site, Puma's are very addictive. :-)

Hi Frankie and welcome. :-)

Looking good, I like the stripes and the wheels. I have been thinking of spraying my silver propeller wheels white. :-)

Thanks RJ and Yog I will try your suggestions when the new bolts arrive. The arms aren't in a dangerous condition but they were an MOT advisory on Friday. :-)

Ran into a problem changing the lower arms, the drivers side went on no problem but the passenger side front bolt rounded off it was so tight. :x I don't have access to a welder or blowtorch so can anyone advise me how I can remove the rounded off bolt? :? I will be replacing all the bolts...

Nice simple to understand guide, I will be replacing my lower arms today. I have read somewhere that the car should be on the ground before the bolts are fully torqued up but I would have thought there wouldn't be room to get at them unless the car was lowered onto a block to give some...

Thanks for this guide it helped me a lot. I replaced my bushes with poly ones from Problem Solving Bushing (PSB), at a cost of £27.90 + free postage. They went in very easily and have tightened up the backend and the ride isn't harsh. :-)

I had this problem today and I bridged the reverse light switch cable and my reverse lights worked. I bought a new reverse light switch for £9.07 and now they are working fine, by the way I fitted the switch from above after removing the air filter trunking. :grin:
