Well cambelt and waterpump are done, will slip a new rocker Gasket in, drop the oil and see how she behaves. Oil consumption is getting worse but still drives spot on with no smoke, oil residue in the exhaust or other terminal signs. I reckon she'll last a while yet, quite proud of the old girl :)

A couple of things spring to mind... Thermostat, is this working properly? At increased speeds the airflow is greater, increasing the cooling effect thru the rad. If its over cooling because the stat isn't closing when temp drops this 'could' cause the coolant temp to drop. The other thought is...

My beautiful (well to me, most people would say she's a bit tired...) Bessie has done 145k and is going in for a cambelt and water pump with a friend today (£50 + parts, can't complain). I was having a poke about under the bonnet, noticed the rocker cover is leaking virtually all the way round...

Cheers Mac :) From the above list of faults, I fixed all but the parcel shelf which now normally just resides in the boot! I will try and upload some pics soon (pain having to upload to computer, then photobucket, then link. Tapatalk would be a god send for those with smartphones!). Basically...

Well I'm always partial to a pint! Once Bessie's (my puma) been put to bed of course :)

I've hooked Bessie up to a code scanner and it's telling me that she has a fault code p0443 (evaporative emission system purge control valve circuit) but I've searched on google and on here for the solution but I'm a wee bit stuck. Any ideas? Also could this be part of the cause of the strong...

Hey all. Looking for a blank remote key for my 97 R reg puma but don't know what it actually looks like to buy one? Can someone give me a description and pic if poss. I understand that it'll be a 2 button infra red remote, but is there a difference between the square and round(er) types...

Hi all am new to puma ownership having bought one last week for 350 quid.... Did have a few niggly faults (windows not working, blocked washer jet, filthy interior, parcel shelf falls out, alarm won't switch off easily so have to leave it unlocked, the list goes on....). But bessie as she is...
