Hi Guys

Not too long brought a Puma 1.6i,2001 with 69 on the clock!! I really would like some advice!!

The Puma is my Run around,my main car is a 2009 Volvo C70 which drives beautifully but it very thirsty lol

,I want to keep Puma in as good condition as can be,She is going in for a Cam belt next week and water pump,Its rust free but i want to get it protected,is there any garages out there that do this and what sort of price am i looking at??-The car seemed a bit slow to me but then the C70 is a 2.5 D5

Also I only have 1 key so where can i get a remote key from/sorted

Any Advice please

ta

Hi
The wiki has a rust section you might like to read.
One key, unfortunately you need two that will start the car to programme a new one yourself so it is a trip to Ford or try a auto electrician or an independent like Pumabuild.

Hey Happy Kat ,Thanks for your reply,

Where are Puma Build Based as Im in Bedfordshire,I cant see the wiki rust section,do you have a link???(edited-just seen it lol)-Also I would like the original mats for the car as well,I want to keep it as close to the original as possible,glad I got the Puma though because the XR2 which I have always wanted are way too expensive nowdays!!

Hey Young Nick!!:):)

Hoping this Puma is gonna do all my short journeys rather than the C70,

Is there such thing as a Double DIN with a Face Off??

Am looking for one but cannot seem to find one!

Sorry, don't know the answer as my Puma still has all original Ford equipment.

Spare is normally in a carrier frame held under the boot floor with the releasing nut for the carrier frame inside the boot.
