Been a long time since I've been back here, but I've still got the Puma on my mind. I learnt a lot from that last project, and I have a hankering to get a 4th Puma in the near future and do this project once again - but do it right. AKA - save up enough money to take the car straight to...

I joined a 350z forum and posted a load of questions. Got a hell of a lot of replies which was nice to see. Seems I needn't fixate on a low mileage car so long as it has full service history and has had any of the major work done to coincide with its mileage, such as clutch, belts etc. The...

Hi all, Have to say I miss posting on here and figured I'd make a post on how things are going. I went with a Hyundai i20 in summer after the horrific issues with the Golf. The engine died twice and then it was drinking litres of oil and overheating. The dealership gave me the full amount back...

The Polo broke down again. I picked it up again on Friday after it had had it's oil seals replaced. The day after I got it back I started it up, it struggled to start and when it did, it idlded so rough the car was shaking. I drove less than half a mile to the shop and the engine almost cut out...

Got the car back end of last week. No paperwork/invoice provided. They supposedly changed 1 exhaust valve. A few days later (around 120 miles covered) the yellow oil light comes on. I drive 3 miles to a garage and get some oil and top up with 0.5 litres. I check for leaks - none apparent. I...

It feels like a painfully obvious oversight that I didn't get a remap or FRP ECU after installing these mods. Ah well. In other news, and after much window shopping I think I've found what I want for my next car. Admittedly, my goals frequently change. This car however, peaked my interests; it...

I have front and rear door cards for the millenium edition. I believe they are the same? All plain black/dark grey? Ed

Been messing around with my photos and having fun. Ordered 250 business cards Ed

Turns out installing a FRP ECU fixed the rough idling and judder issues. Glad he got it up an running. I remember a few months ago seeing a FRP ECU for sale on eBay and my gut reaction was screaming at me to buy it. But I never did. Silly me - always go with your gut. Ed

Puma went yesterday. Guy who bought it is a huge Puma and Fiesta enthusiast and a really nice guy. Time to start saving for a new car. Ed

Now i'm setting up my website. I managed to get an awesome domain name: www.edfoulds.art Just working on getting the store up and running this weekend. Ed

Figured I'd bring my portfolio to work on my last week and see if anyone would be interested in buying an art print. Got my first ever sales yesterday. 6 in total. Ed

I've got a strong suspicion if I were to go with an older Fiesta I'd probably end up buying an ST150. Ed

3 people at work have the Mk5 Fiesta and haven't had any issues at all and owned them for years. I am really stumped with what to go with. I wanted something newer so parts wouldn't be an issue. But I also want something that's mechanically sound and not prone to costly failures. Regarding...

Got the puma bits off J tonight. We were talking about cars and he said if I want a reliable car that'll go the distance he recommended a 1.4 or 1.6 TDI Mk 5 Fiesta. In all honesty though, the one thing the Megane made me miss is my old Saab 9-5. I'm getting to an age where things are beginning...

I've genuinely considered that. But I think cycling 38 miles a day would destroy me. Ed

So I hoped the A/C would work in this courtesy car. It doesn't. In fact the interior fan doesn't work at all (that's a new one). In this weather? How courteous.

Wow, this courtesy car is a little bit aged shall we say. Comfy mind you, but it looks like it's been repaired/maintained/bodged using the least amount of money possible. They're taking the cylinder head off today to see how bad it is. If needs be there's a local company Ivor Searle who do...

£42 cheaper to insure this courtesy car for 4 weeks than it is to insure my Polo for the entire year. Then an email from eBay charging me £36.98 for selling a car that I haven't even got the money for yet. Ed
