Hi Folks, I've been loving my Puma for the past 4 years or so but sadly this year it has to go. After putting it in for an MOT it came as a surprise to find that all of a sudden the seatbelt supports and suspension mounting points need welding. I say surprise becasue there were no advisories...

There's loads of fascia adapters on ebay. I used something like this and then just popped a single didn head unit in. Looks nice and works fine. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=half+din+car+fascia&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=puma+stereo+fascia&_sacat=0 :)

Thank you both for the replies, I'll check the footwell for wetness and have a look at the grommet to see if there's any indication of water ingress. Then get into it further and have a look at the ECU. A friend has offered me the use of an ODB II thingy. Would either of you have had any...

Hi Folks, So I've had 2 years of mostly problem free motoring from my little black Puma, right up until Saturday just gone. Driving to a friends house in vicious rain and wind on Friday evening I thought that the speedo was acting strange. It didn't seem to be responding properly to changes...

Hi, I'm in Plymouth and have just bought my first Puma. It's black, 1.7 and great fun. Only done 78k and only one previous owner. Thought I'd come and nose about your forum to find out whatever I can about whatever I can!
