HI All,
I bought a 2000 reg 1.7 in 2008 with only 16K miles, I paid top wack from garage (but what do you pay for a nearly new Puma?) but I did get them to fit new cam belt and tentioner.
Now with 42K miles its overdue for a new cam belt +++. The problem is, its a bit too fiddly for me to do, so can anyone recommend a garage in the Gatwick area that can be trusted?
I have read some awful stories on this site, and don't want to f..... up the engine. Most of pumapeople.com recommended garages seemed to have stopped trading.
Thanks

I think a search in the wider area, Southampton, Surry, Haywards Heath, London will throw up garages.
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

This guy gets a lot of good reviews and can't be that far away from you.

katiesdad , did you ever find a specialist to replace your cambelt ? I'm not far from Gatwick and would like mine done also.

Thanks
