Morning all, I've noticed recently that my car has a habit of steaming up almost constantly. I tend to turn on air con and air recirc to clear it. However, could it possibly be down to some of the seals perishing? If so, how easy (or otherwise) is it to replace them? Ta muchly, Steve

Morning all, I have to admit that when I bought my Puma I never intended to turn it into a project. All I was looking to do was have the rust sorted. However, I am now thinking of swapping my cloth trim for leather, installing the steering column radio controls, having the engine re-mapped and...

Brilliant, thanks for that. I can now confirm a build date of 2 November 2000.

Sorry guys, yep, meant Thunder seats. As for the year it was registered December 2000. Is there any way I can check build date?

Thanks for that. I look forward to having the money to get the seats. Having looked through the 'for sale' items on this site I doubt I'll have issues getting hold of the seats.

Hi all, I know seats have been covered here before but I have a (slightly) different question. I currently have cloth seats but after my bank account has recovered from Christmas I'd like to switch them for leather seats. Bearing in mind it's a straight swap I was wondering how easy (or...

Apparently I'm putting my Puma ahead of my (future) fiancee as I'm spending money on the car rather than an engagement ring. I didn't go back with the argument that I don't have to wear the ring!!! :wink:

I've been doing some phoning around and most places are quoting around £320 (including the slave cylinder) all in. Not terrible but not what I need just before Christmas :x

Morning all, When I set off this morning all was well, but when pulling away from a set of lights I hit a hole in the road and now the clutch is slipping like mad. There was no sign of it until then. Could it be the jolt has had something to do with it (as it started slipping immediately) or...

Morning all, I live in Thundersley/Benfleet and would be interested in doing a meet of some kind. Steve

I have to say that while mine is going in for some repairs to the bodywork (rusty arches) once done it should be immaculate, BUT, part of me is tempted to keep it for special occasions & buy a cheap one to get to and from work. Is owning two Puma's greedy?

Morning all, A firend has a 2003 MINI which is in the garage (again) and she mentioned I'd just purchased a Puma. Apparently the guy reckons that now is the time to buy as he seems the think that prices aer slowly going up. Has anyone else heard this? What are your thoughts.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, I will give those a try & report back! :-)

Morning all, On washing my Puma I've noticed that the front bumber has come away slightly where it meets the wings. I realise it's probably the result of a (hopefully) minor bump. Having checked under the bonnet all the panels are straight so it can't have been much. Daft question though, is...
