I've not been on here in ages and don't drive a Puma anymore, but from talking to Mr XIIVVX, I was asked after so whoever was lovely enough to do so (Mr XIIVVX is too old to remember names, y'see :wink: ), thank you and I'm doing very well. Glad you all seemed to have a good day and shall look...

As per topic title. Doesn't affect the driving but I want to check the oil and refill the screenwash. Can do neither. Have jiggled around with the thingy with a screwdriver (you know what I mean!) but to no avail. The locking mechanism can't be buggered because it closes perfectly well. Any...

My alarm keeps going off and destroying the wintry peace of my street for no good reason. I have a replacement battery, but how the hell do I get the back off the fob to replace it? Have buckled a kitchen knife trying to do it so far! Cheers

I've seen a PC5-74 and a PC5-75 removal thingies from Halfords. Which one is best for removing the stereo? They look similar but I really don't know! Thank you!

Could I have some quotes, please? It just started suddenly, too, all of a sudden. No warning. Are wheel bearings really that loud?

My car's making a noise again. When I brake. It's the graunchy thing, this time coming from the rear. The reason I mention the CV joint is that last year, the car I'm driving now broke out into song midway between home and Cheshire, garnering me rather curious looks from passers-by. It went...

Yep. How do I pull it out? Girlie question, I know...

....doesn't work. Like the radio and the alarm. Oh goody! Any ideas of how much to repair? Ta

....keeps going off of its own accord. I can lock it using the key itself, you know, the old-fashioned way, and it's fine, but to walk away from it, centrally locking as I go isn't an option anymore. It woke me up this morning at 4am, cheeky fecker. Any ideas? As you'll see, I'm also posting to...

As per topic title. It'll hold a signal for 20 minutes before dissolving into nothing. Not even hiss. Just nuffink' Very frustrating when I want to hear those cliff-hanger conclusions to Radio 4 plays. (No sniggering at the back, please). Barring getting a new radio thingy, any (tentative)...

Oooooh! I know I will get a drive out of this m'self! Yay!

I don't think so. Just if I'm turning right, normally quite a stiff right, you know, pulling into a parking space where it's full lock or something.

Hello! Sorry, yes, been away doing stuff and working like a bee-yatch. It's not had bushes in a long, long time....and it's on 88k, so probably. Do they really creak, though? It seems more connected to steering but I do, admittedly, know bugger all about cars. And how's you, Dal?

Only on one side, the right. The left had its steering arm replaced earlier this year after I'd driven into a kerb to avoid an old duffer in a Peugeot from crashing into the side of me. :evil: Anyway, just recently, when I steer a hard right, for example, to park, there's an arthritic...

Very sorry to hear that. I do hope things improve for you on that score very soon; could you do anything engineering related in a freelance sense? I've got a friend who's in a similar position and that's his next move. Love to you and Cherie + Sophie!

I never did really work out why you sold it.

I think it's crucial that the family know and give their consent to whatever his friends wish to do. I never met him but would like to attend his funeral as a mark of respect; that and the fact that whenever I posted along the lines of 'What's wrong with my car now?!' he'd always be bang on...

I heard the news this morning; very sobering and sad. He was always great with advice, supportive and friendly. We had a little plan that we were going to meet up and I was going to piggy-back him around 'cause I was so much taller than he was - shame it never came to fruition, but gave me an...
