Let's hope this turns out ok . I haven't tried this before , but if it works reasonably well, both my arches are just starting to bubble and I've got a HUGE key mark down the passenger side where some fu$#er had nothing better to do. May need some more paint.. :)

Nice one Stu, I'll give it a go. Thanks

Hi, Some advice please. Thought I'd treat a small bit of rust on o/s door sill ( 50 pence piece size) Rubbed it back to bare metal, bit of rust stuff, primed and now painted - Halfords moondust silver. I've got the clear coat and intend to rub the paintwork down with 2000 grain to dull the shiny...

Anyone used a D.I.Y windscreen kit ?

Hi, so following the great guide on this forum I have changed to smoked repeaters. Not quite straightforward, so I thought I'd put this up for other Newbies. Neither of the side lights would budge when i tried to turn them , even with WD40. Not wanting to remove wheel and wheel arch liner I...

:shock:

Hi Ianc, Thanks for the reply, sorry for the delay. Currently in tenerife living it up :-P When I get back, if I ever get back ( french air traffic control strike-bothered!) Perhaps I can give u a shout re bush replacement just for advice? I'll wave on regardless from now on!

Thanks for the advice. Not sure I could cope with the stress of getting the bushes out. Just spent an hour trying to remove the radio from my son's Corsa, having spent a tenner on removal keys....and failed! Just need the serial number for a radio code! so my nerves are frayed from that.. :'(...

Okay, so 18 days into the ownership of my first Puma (luvit) I took her? out to take my son into town this sunny morning. As we drove smoothly along, I noticed coming towards me a vision in green! The sun bouncing off the bonnet in a myriad of green metallic shimmers. Another Puma. As we glided...

Hi, well I may have sorted out 'kettling' problem I had which happened again this morning. I followed Quest63's advise, above, ( for the second time, didn't do it properly first time) As the engine heated up I squeezed the top right rad hose, as you look at it, and bottom left hose from rad...

Good shout, but I've already got the new base. Maybe if I can get Halfords to refund for the aerial I'll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion and the welcome Hewy.

Hi, Quick question re aerial base.. My Puma -luv it- had no roof aerial when I bought it, and base looked a bit rough. So wifey went out and got hold of a 'universal' aerial from Halfords and I ordered a new base with this week's pocket money. Now then, the thread on the 'universal' base is too...

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go tomorrow night. Should be alright to drive till then? Coolant level is constant.

Evening , Thanks for the welcomes, Well, drove to work today and the heater still blasting out hot air, but, car not boiling as before. So took couple of hours off and took Hvc back to parts shop and explained that it didn't fit quite right at the connector and was loose. The guy in the shop...

Thanks for the welcome
