    central locking info required for replacement

    Apart from the fact that this seems like a LOT of effort for a flip-key, (wouldn't it be easier to attempt to change your present key to a flip-key?) I would assume that there is an instruction manual that would come with an after market system - this would tell you if your dreams can become...

    Cant pinpoint leak.

    They look to be in good condition but check the area where the two heater pipes cross: mine went there the other day (in London traffic!)

    Engine vibration at idle

    Have the compression tested. Check the plugs.

    Question regarding export of failed MOT car

    Having read your last message, I suggest that you do exactly as you intend (particularly that part where you have a letter from the owner - including his name, address and telephone number - stating that the car is now yours - and don't forget to obtain the V5 registration certificate.) You have...

    Been asked MANY times before, OBD2 connection

    For what it's worth the ELM 237 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0194Z7Q80?psc=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) in my Puma has been on for the past year. It hasn't drained the battery and nobody has come along and retuned the car. I note that when the engine isn't going there is no...

    Question regarding export of failed MOT car

    The way would seem to be simple enough. You will need to buy the car and tell the owner to arrange for it to be taken to the docks for outward shipping. If it had no MOT, it would have to be transported. If it has an MOT and is taxed and insured, no matter how short, then it could be driven...

    Small disaster

    As the final word, I was at the same pump the other day and, out of idle curiosity, I tried the diesel pump to see how I managed it, as the neck of the pipe has a green plastic restricter in it. The diesel nozzle is stopped by the restricter, but only to the extent of preventing it from going...

    P99UMA

    There are now 4 other Pumas living within close to me - a black one about 300 yards away, a silver one about ½ a mile away, another silver one at about the same distance and a metallic green one on the other side of town. I must get out with my camera and a few Puma Club cards.

    i have a 1998 1.7 puma with cooling problem

    You could have a duff thermostat or you could have air trapped in the system, or you could have trouble with the pump.

    Small disaster

    Yes, I thought that too. At the time, it didn't seem strange as I rarely poke the nozzle all the way in (as the bishop said to the actress) But the pump nozzle sits nicely on the top of the green plastic insert/restrictor at the top of the inlet pipe. I was distracted by my sodding Nectar card...

    Trackday at Cadwell

    What's "an open pit trackday"? Is it where you can take a basic pet Puma (no roll-cage, etc) round at an unfeasibly high speed and then post photos of the wreckage on Facebook?

    Small disaster

    I lost £250 yesterday: I was at Sainsbury’s and after the shopping, I went to get some fuel as the tank was all but empty and I filled to with ... diesel... and I drove off... I actually managed just a little over 15 yards, and it stopped. A one hour wait, £170 to drain and flush, £40 worth of...

    excessive tyre wear 205/16/45

    I don't know if it would work, but a band of duct-tape stretched from rim to rim and then a slowish drive should give you an idea of wear patterns after readjustment.

    Newb from Herts.

    Welcome to PP: I'm just round the corner from you in St Albans. I hope all goes well - you are going to notice the difference in power.
