Hi, I'm Sunny Jim based in Snowdonia, North Wales. I won a Puma in a raffle on another forum which I picked up yesterday. It's a 51 plate Thunder. I had a 280 mile journey home from Twickenham and I must admit for the first 230 miles I was thinking this is good but I'm not sure why people rave about them so much. After Froncysyllte the A5 became emptier and twistier through the mountains. Let's just say now I know!
It needs a good service and a couple of rear tyres but is otherwise seems mechanically sound. The only other issues are the driver's side rear arch (!) - it's had the Peugeot wing repair done at some point in the past but it looks as though part of the repair section is lifting (I'll post pics once I've worked out how to) and the driver's side window - it slips down of its own accord but won't go back up. I stopped off part way home and took the door card off and when I lifted the glass pressing the switch would give about an inch of travel up and down before jamming again. I guess that means the switch, motor and electrics are ok and it's something to do with the mechanism - if I'm lucky maybe a good clean and re-grease will sort it but any suggestions as to what it might be and how to cure it gratefully received.For now it's held up with a block of wood in the time-honoured bodge.
I took it for a spin along some of my favourite local b-roads this morning and it had me grinning - ideal car for round here!
