hi all, i need to sell my puma as im emigrating soon. I bought the car almost 4 years ago, totally standard. Since I bought it I’ve carried out extensive work to the car. Its currently showing 80k miles, but most mechanical parts on the car have been replaced with new OEM parts or uprated...

Have a full set of used std shocks and springs mate. Where are you? I'm in stoke, if you can collect them then they're yours for £20.

im not sure thats strictly correct, i rebuilt an MHA engine for mine and had the same dramas as mentioned above. the bearings most parts suppliers list are for 40mm crank journals and the engine i have is 42. i ended up using bearings from a random mitsubushi engine, but they required some...

fyi, pug 206 front arches are a very good fit, i've used them on mine. i have 2 brand new pattern part arches spare if youre interested. can trim them down to size and send them too you for £50.

cheers mate :-) hopefully someone will take an interest and take it off me, and continue to enjoy it and develop it. ill be sad to see it go, its easily the best driving car ive ever owned. im sure once someone comes for a look and a test drive theyll have a hard time walking away haha! its a...

I've decided to put my Puma up for sale, I'll be emigrating within the next 12 months so it needs to go. Although there's no rush, I thought I might aswell list it now. I bought it 3 years ago with 2 previous lady owners, FSH and about 60k on the clock, its now on around 74k. Since then it's...

sounds like the issue then. cheers.

yeah to be fair my mounts have taken some abuse :lol: ive got some liquid polyurethane and had planned to beef up the mounts at some stage, ill get that done and try refitting it.

anyone else had issues with the omp front strut brace? i bought one 2nd hand which had a few scrapes on it, i didnt think much of them, but having gone to fit the thing, it very slightly fouls the bottom of the gearbox. it still bolts up fine but theres definitely very slightly contact there...

theres a gasket between the head and the casting (its the thermostat housing btw) wouldnt do any harm at all to whip it off,replace the gasket, and perhaps the thermostat while youre at it, but mainly to clean up the thing. ive been mucking about with my coolant system lately and turned out the...

:roll: :lol:

Cheers for the replies chaps. I'll have a furk around with it and see what I can see. I've got a feeling the throttle could well be shitted up from the 5th injector as the iscv was a little bit black and I'll check the connectors throughout as several things have been off and on with test...

Got the car out and mot'd this week, it's been off the road or a while so took it out to blow off the cobwebs and noticed a weird little fault with it. When coming off the throttle there's a delay in the revs dropping, almost like te throttle is sticking open slightly. It seems more prominent at...

a heads up for you mate, be wary of where you get your big end bearings from. almost everywhere lists the 40mm versions for the 1.25/1.4/1.6 for the 1.7 aswell, and theyre different. im in the throws of trying to find a suitable alternative. ive just ordered some from a random mitsubishi engine...

just so everyone knows, im allowed to slag him and his car off because weve known each other for 16 years, we're best mates, share a workshop, i sold him the car and i did all the welding on the fucking heap :lol: :lol: :lol: it was a piece of shite, but is certainly getting somewhere now...

what a pile of shite.

its possible the strut top mount bearings colapsed, worth checking definitely. while youre under it just check the caliper and pads are all located correctly and tight to eliminate that.

i always use a fork type ball joint splitter as a wedge/lever and steady taps with a lump hammer to dislodge the retaining clip inside, then wiggle by hand. never failed and havnt damaged a gearbox so far. just another option.
