To cut a long story short, my plan is to take the Puma off the road for a while. One of the reasons is that I need a four door car for a while (I am about to become a father again 16 years later) but I would also like to start taking part in "Regularity Rallies" and the Puma seems like a perfect...

I wasn't sure where to post this, so I guessed Puma Area is as good as any. I am in search of a little advice as for taking the Puma on a track in a couple of months. I have been promising my son for years that I would take him on a track one day, and we never really got around to doing it...

Everyone agrees that the number of Puma's on the road is dropping quickly, and there were never that many in Spain in the first place, however... I live in a small town with around 25.000 people, and due to my love of anything with wheels and an engine, I pay a fair bit of attention to cars...

Ok, this is a bit of a strange one, but I want to replace the radio with a panel and, as it is curved, the front plate from a broken radio would be a perfect template, I don't care if it is silver or black (or scratched and old, as long as it is intact). I though about just picking up a radio...

I know this is probably a long shot, but I am wondering if there are any soft top owners around here that may have had experience with the company: car-hood.co.uk I need to pick up a replacement top for the Crossfire, and this British company seems to look decent and be a good price (as far as...

I just want to check if I am "barking up the right tree" here... When driving over speed bumps, or potholes round town, I get a loud clunking sound from the front end, and a feeling similar to the suspension bottoming out. The suspension itself seems to be fine, although I can't find any record...

I am happily using the Puma as my daily driver, how did I abandon the poor thing for months?!?! Anyways, I am missing decent music, so I am working on designing a slight upgrade, but more on that later. My question is regarding the wiring of the stock radio. I haven't started to actually test...

So far this year I have been pretty much inundated with work, and things don't look like they are going to get any quieter in the near future. This has unfortunately put the Puma on the back burner, my free time has been spent either with the family, or out driving rather than dismantling. I...

In the near future I am going to be in need of a new family car. No matter how much my other half loves the Picasso, it is starting to get a little tired for long journeys. We have been toying with the BMW 645ci, as they don't hold their value very well here (I think mainly due to the fact that...

Hi all, not sure if you can help me out. I am trying to order the disks and drums for my '98 Puma, but I wan't to order the larger versions that were installed on the later models. Unfortunately, all spare parts places want the engine code from me before they will order, to make sure they are...

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of some good quality seat covers that are a perfect fit for the Puma ('98 standard seats)? I have found some on Amazon and eBay, but the photos are generic, so I don't fully trust the fit. I plan on upgrading the front seats at some point...

I am not sure where this would go, or even if any of you can actually help with this, but I am sort of thinking out loud here. As I am still waiting to get my car running properly again, I am putting together a list of tasks that I plan on addressing over the next 6 months or so. One of the...

I am not sure if this is the right place for this question, so I apologize if it should be elsewhere. The backseats of the puma are really of no use to me, I don't think I know anyone who would fit in their even if I did wan't people in the back. So, I am thinking of removing the back seats...

Hi Guys, Usually I wouldn't post this in urgent, but unfortunately the car is stuck in the garage. (as always, please bear with me if I don't get the part names correct in English) I have had the cambelt changed (using the full kit with tensioner etc.) along with water pump and rocker cover...

Just a random question... I have seen the rear lights without the plastic covers, but can the headlights be used without the covers?

I know this is a regular subject here, and that it has been posted so many times before that everyone is sick of hearing about it, but please bear with me. I have searched and read as many posts and threads on this as possible, some with very useful information and some with scary information...

I have a couple of questions for you experts. I took the puma out on some abandoned back roads this morning, and gave it a little push. If I remember correctly, I read that the VCT make the engine change at around 4200rpm, however, the car seems to change around 4000rpm in first to third, and...

Hi all! So as to not post a million questions in my project thread, I thought I would post the specific questions in their own section, and stick to the progress in the project thread. My first and most important issue is with brake upgrades. As I am in Spain, I am having difficulties finding...

Some of you may have read my "newbie" post, well today I picked up my new (to me) car. Although I had driven a few Puma's over the years, they were never much more than a test drive, but today I got to do a 200km drive home, mostly motorway, but also some nice secondary road bends that I...

Hi all! First, congratulations on the forum, plent of cool projects and cars in here, and from what I have see, lots of helpful and friendly people. I came accross this forum whilst looking for info on the Puma, as I have been wanting to pick one up for a while. I was wondering if you guys...
