Evening everybody! A couple of months ago I noticed that the recirculated air stopped working on my Puma. The light still came on when I pushed the button, but I no longer heard the distinctive 'clunk' as the valve moved and the increased volume of the fan. It didn't bother me too much, just...

Evening everyone, I've fitted a Focus centre console into my Puma, pretty pleased with it. I did cut away a bit too much carpet at one point, but I stuck some of the offcuts in and it looks okay. My question is regarding the rear of the console. It has a 12v socket which I would like to wire...

Hi folks, haven't posted in a while because I keep my Puma off the road in the winter, but I'm making a list of jobs to do when I get it back out of the garage at Easter. The big one is changing the rear suspension bushes for polybushes, and I have a few questions. I've read a couple of the How...

Afternoon everybody! I've got a Y reg 1.7, only mod is the obligatory louder air filter. The car has been running faultlessly of late (as it always has done), and today I planned to drive off to see my parents, but didn't get very far. After about a mile or two I stopped at some traffic lights...

Passed a yellow Puma Millennium (were they all yellow?) on the A458 the other day, going from Shrewsbury to Welshpool. Anyone on here?

Hi folks, I took my Puma out of the garage for the first time since October yesterday and now she's back on the road. Only trouble is, that I took her down to the petrol station, put £20 in, and before I knew it, it was all pi$$ing out onto the floor! I knew there was a slight leak in the tank...

Hi folks, I need a bit of advice and explanation please. I have already searched a few times on this forum, but I was left quite confused by what I found. My backpack was stolen off a train last week, and along with my passport and laptop, they also got away with my keys. My Puma is a 2001 with...

Hi folks, I've seen some pictures of people putting the Focus centre console into Puma's. I'm guessing this is from the Mk1 Focus? Is there a particular model of Focus that I need to be looking for to find the centre console that will fit best? Basicaly, I'm just getting really sick of not...

I'm very happy today as I've managed to find a full Millenium interior in good condiditon and fit it! I notice it has electric motors in the seat, I think for the up/down vertical adjustment, is there a way of wiring them in to a Y reg 1.7 Puma? Cheers Huw

Hi folks, I've got a problem with the indicators on my Puma. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Whacking the stalk up and down a few times sometimes gets the lights flashing, but not always. I just wondered if this was a common fault, and if there is a fix, or should I just get another...

Hi folks, as above really, can someone please tell me what size is the rear hub nut? Need to take the drum off and my socket set only goes up to 20mm! Cheers

My Puma's been off the road since March so I took her down the garage for MOT first thing this morning, and I'm pretty upset about the result. There's a few easily fixable niggles, but the big thing is that there is a lot of welding to be done. Three different spots and none of them easy to get...

I removed my brake calipers yesterday to refurb them, and although the refurb went mostly to plan, both brake lines sheared off when trying to remove them from the calipers. I really wanted the get the Puma through MOT this week, so it's a massive set back and a huge annoyance to me. So what...

Hi folks, my Puma's been garaged up for the winter and over easter I'm going to be looking at getting her roadworthy again. One of the problems I was having before she was put away was the O/S caliper sticking on and boiling the brakes fluid, so it's pretty important I get that sorted out. What...

Had a bit of a prang yesterday. I was waiting at a junction and the car behind didn't stop (apparently something got stuck under the brake pedal, is what the girl said to me). Damage was pretty minor really except for me and my girlfriend having sore necks, but I've called the insurance company...

Hi folks, I was driving over to my girlfriends this evening, a distance of about 30 miles. I noticed that when I put the clutch in to change gear, the car would slow down quite a lot, at least more than I think is normal. The revs would drop quite quickly down to idle, but no further. I mention...

Hi folks, I'm finding the front seats in my 2001 Puma way too uncomfortable. The back of the seat seems to be pushing out against me, half way up my spine. My last car was an MG Metro, and somehow the seats in that were far more comfortable. So I'm looking to change the seats over and would like...

Hi people, this forum is so good that I've not had to ask any questions so far, just been using the FAQ's, How To Guides and such. But now I need some judgements on the rear arches of my Puma. Here's a photo. So I realise that the right thing to do here is cut out the rust and replace with a...

Hi folks, how's it going? Recently bought myself a Y reg Puma from my mates mum. I'd always wanted a Puma so I couldn't resist for £200 and 80,000. I'm loving driving it, I've gone from original Mini's to an MG Metro and now to a Puma. It's just as much fun, but I'm enjoying having a fifth gear...
