Well, here's something I never thought I'd be writing. Due to a change in work, I have to sell my Puma Thunder. Anyone who has read my posts will know how much it has had spent on it, with all repairs and servicing done by Ford themselves. It is pretty much as standard, with nothing modified...

https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/police-chased-car-doing-140mph-1587927 OK, own up - it was you, wasn't it... :lol: I hope the idiot gets taken to task, but rubbish reporting. 140mph??? :roll:

So... ...the Puma went into my local and highly-rated bodyshop to have the right rear arch looked at again. Yes, it needs work, but that is only the start of the problem. :evil: It appears that the dreaded ginger-disease has taken hold of the inside arches, too - exacerbated by the bloody...

Just seen an advert for this... http://www.classicfordmag.co.uk/the-magazine/classic-ford-presents-ford-heritage/ Looks very interesting. Classic Ford magazine misses the Puma as it's generally for pre-1990 cars, and I've never really been a fan of Fast Ford or the cars it features. Ford...

It’s a bit quiet in here, so thought it was time to try and start a new thread. Although not all 2018 films, so far this year, recent films I’ve seen have been… Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jit3YhGx5pU Despite the hype (which tends to put me off...

Well, an interesting drive home tonight in some pretty bad conditions. One and a half hours to get 10 miles. It was a bit alarming to see BMWs and Mercs fish-tailing alongside me on roundabouts and traffic lights - thankfully the old Puma remained as sure-footed as usual. I know there's some...

PUM4A is up for sale - £8995. :cry: https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/purchase/paymentoptions/0/pum4a A bit more than I can afford, sadly. Did it belong to anyone on here? Can't see it suiting any other car.

For me, Puma/car-related are… ‘Bad’ Stuff: Service/Front Brake Pads+Discs in early Spring. MOT in April (shudder… I hate that time of the year). Tidy up (again) bits of the bodywork. ‘Good’ stuff: Get a new re-trimmed Steering Wheel fitted (current one won’t last another summer of sweaty...

Puma and rattles – somehow it seems they seem to go hand-in-hand… So, I wondered if anyone here had any advice: My Puma has suddenly developed a slightly tinny/plastic rattling noise from behind the Dashboard, mainly on the passenger side – or seems to, as I know noises can be notoriously hard...

After tracking down the misfire issue on my Puma (https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=31549#p366315), I would thoroughly recommend these guys for sorting engine issues if you are in the North West. 10/10 service, and saved me a fair bit of money.

Thought I'd update the forum with some info, in case anyone finds it useful. Having run perfectly for some time since the last Coil Pack replacement (https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=30368&p=357160#p357160), the Puma began to have a slight misfire again, noticeable under load...

Today I was heading off early into Manchester. All OK until 10-15 minutes into the drive when I noticed the Temperature Gauge had gone from cold, to normal, and was now rapidly rising into the red. Realising I had just passed a Ford dealership on the A56 I swung the car around and got into the...

I've just had the car in for it's latest Service and MOT - two bad oil leaks (Rocker Seal and Selector Shaft Seal) and the whole Handbrake mechanism renewed, and a pretty hefty bill followed. So, it's a Bank Holiday weekend and Mrs.T66 is away with friends. I thought I'd do something useful and...

Not sure if anyone saw the coverage from IMSA of the Daytona 24hrs. Absolutely fantastic racing, with the new Ford GT marginally ahead of the new Porsche 911RS which was a split second ahead of the third placed Ferrari 488 - all after a full 24 hours of racing. Ford's history of the Daytona 24...

Hmmm, so, after a great day out visiting the Ford meet-up at Squires Café last weekend, my trusty Puma has rewarded me with developing a somewhat odd issue. Accelerating in 1st or 2nd Gear there is a bit of juddering until things pick up as normal. Accelerating in 3rd Gear upwards isn't an...

Looked in good condition when I shot past last weekend in Kineton, Warwiskshire. Parked outside a pub, looking very different in the line of modern euro-boxes. Didn't get chance to get the numberplate, though.

So, after one of my noise issues was resolved yesterday thanks to info on here ( http://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=29520 ) I have now come to the conclusion that I need to tackle a couple of others. I think possibly due to my Thunder's mileage, the Front Seats have become somewhat...

Just wondered if any Puma owners were going to the Classic Ford Show at Santa Pod on 05th June 2016? http://www.classicfordshow.co.uk/classicfordshow
