    My puma oil consumption

    Check for oil leaks like the rocker ccover gasket, make sure the breather pipe is in good condition. Mine drank oil too! :pose:

    Front heated screen stopped working.

    Any way of checking the resistance across the emerging wires from the screen itself? Maybe with the cold snap the filament has broken?

    My Puma (formally pictures at last)

    What was the MOT tester's face like when they saw the car? :crazy:

    Windows buttons are hot

    Could you be more specific? Do you mean the buttons on the door for the windows? I wonder if it is the contacts on the buttons need cleaning as they might be shorting ever so slightly.

    Rear Brake Wear?

    I saw something similar on my rear drums, worn at the top and little wear at the bottom of the shoes. I replaced the springs, clips and adjusters. When I replaced the shoes later it was more even in wear (although still worn more at the top).

    FRP Puma-Stockton-on-Tees

    It was the only the second time I saw an FRP in the flesh. The last one was several years ago in the same area.

    My black cat needs to go to a new home (Now sold)

    Maybe the emissions problem is an easy fix like new plugs, ICV cleaned? If you are not upto it maybe ask a friend and look at the guides on here. You can save the car or ask for more money if you still want to sell it?

    HOW TO:- Rear Wheel Bearing Change

    My bearing woes were fixed with the axle hub being replaced, have them checked too.

    Windows' buttons are hot

    Maybe sticky contacts? Take them out (with the battery disconnected), wd40 and let them dry. Also check the the fuse is of the correct value that protects that part of the circuitry.

    How can i syphon half a tank of fuel?!!

    Petrol has a shelf life I'd reckon it is not worth the effort or risk.

    Bonnet will not open!

    Try wd40 or similar in and around the catch mechanism at the front of the bonnet. Good luck. Once you get it opened, clean any crud and use proper lube spray in the mechanism to hopefully prevent it happening again.
