Hi All, Up until now I have kept the puma stock with no modifications. I need to replace the tyres due to wear and over the years trying different tyres the best I found were Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s so I am quite keen to fit these once more. Currently I have Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2s and have...

Hi All, Just last week on holiday the puma developed a loud rattle and looking underneath there was a sheet of silver that ran from the engine bay to about the rear wheel arches. I think it was covering the exhaust. I took it to a garage to at least remove the loose heatshield which was now...

I was just cleaning the car and I spotted a broken wire. With the boot open looking at the rear of the car, the right pneumatic boot arm has a wire attached to its base that disappears under some trim. The wire has snapped from the small connector attached to the pneumatic boot arm. Does anyone...

Hi All, I've not played around with the suspension before but I'm told by a reliable mechanic that the bushes are starting to need replacing. (Never replaced yet on an O2 with 99k on the clock). From the feel of the suspension I think he could be right. After some reading I gather there are 4...

Hi All, Apologies if this is the wrong section, I couldnt find any area that seemed right. Perhaps someone could help with the following. When trying to open the boot, putting the key in the boot lock and turning works and the boot latch is released. However, normally i just press the boot...
