As most of you are aware, my puma was written off by a silly cow who didn't put on her handbrake a couple of weeks ago. I managed to fight the insurance company and get £500 for ROT -£65 to buy her back.
Looking on the internet last night for a replacement puma and came across on for sale only 120 miles away, so armed with a couple of powerful torches my mate and I went to have a look at it and I bought her and drove her home.
The seller wanted £550 for her but after having a test drive and pointing out that the clutch was slipping he reluctantly accepted £400.
So things to do:
Get new clutch fitted
Oil change (oil looks a nice black colour on the dipstick)
Sort out the electric mirrors (neither work and I am guessing a fuse)
Sort out ABS/TC light
Sort out the HCV (Blasting out hot air constantly)
Re-attach the interior mirror
Investigate a strange noise coming from the back end (sounds like its probably the spare wheel carrier rubbing occasionally)
Replace missing cover on the back bumper (I think a pair of silver ones should look ok for now)
There will probably be other things as I go along and I will update as I go
