    Opinions!

    I was in your situation about a month ago. Mine had just failed its mot badly and also needed a new clutch. I toyed with the idea of binning it off but came to my senses and now £700 quid later here i am! Worth every penny in my opinion :thumbs:

    Engine Temp - Getting VERY hot

    Before you start spending big money on head gaskets and water pumps, try changing the HCV My puma had the exact same problem as yours when i 1st bought it, the mechanic recommended changing the HCV. Now the temp on mine never goes past halfway and ive never had any temp problems since :ok:
