I come bearing the most benevolent of greetings from the societal zenith that is Sheffield!

~~Hallo hallo~~

As I mentioned in the topic title, I should hopefully be getting a puma soon; I thought it would only be proper for me to come and show my face in this grand place that I have heard so much about (before I take advantage of this membership to reduce my insurance mwahahahaha :twisted: )

Any advice you would be kind enough to bless me with would be gratefully received

Welcome.

I hope the experience and info that you seek is as useful as I have found it to be.

Good to welcome a fellow Sheffielder to the forum. I'm sure you'll find all the assistance you need here

chicken_noodle_soup · May 2, 2016

Good day yonder neighbour! We shall have to meet some time so that you can educate me on the intricacies of puma ownership :lol:

Puma Babe · May 2, 2016

What model Puma are you looking at buying?

chicken_noodle_soup · May 2, 2016

A W reg 1.4l standard puma, any nuggets you could suggest concerning the purchase of such a vehicle?

Puma Babe · May 2, 2016

look at wheel arches for rust, it should have had a cambelt change at 10 years old, check all electrics work. Take someone with you when you go to look at it

chicken_noodle_soup · May 2, 2016

Is there anywhere else that is likely to rust, or is it just the arches?

tuonokid · May 2, 2016

Everywhere :-(
Hello and welcome.

I didn't realise they were quite that bad

Puma Babe · May 2, 2016

Mines 14 years old and isn't too bad

AshLaw · May 3, 2016

Rust (main ones): rear wheel arches, underside of car, inner sills (not easy to access).

Take a look at this article - which I found useful sorting out my first Puma: http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Common_Problems_%28Puma%29

Oh wow, that's great thank you

crystalpuma · May 3, 2016

You won't regret it :grin:

I'm new and also in Sheffield. Hello!

It's taken me a while but now I have the only car I have ever really wanted. 1.7 Melina Blue, low mileage and minimal rust :grin:

Puma Babe · May 6, 2016

welcome Vatokat, which area of Sheffield are you? I'll look out for you

vatokat · May 6, 2016

Puma Babe · May 6, 2016

Hopefully getting a puma soon
