Then, discovered the car had alarm when it would activate when i opened the door or put the engine running.
Something did messed up. So, i disconnected car battery and removed the keys batteries too.
connected everything again, was unable to program the key. Then later, maybe after an hour or more, was able to program it, and solved my issues. All works again. But now I know the car does have an alarm, because i didnt knew.
Well, today I did some care to my Bullet, so... Decided to buy better quality leather for the steering wheel, and this time did it all around.
I like the results.

So, in the meantime I had my rear shoes replaced.
Even If nowadays I notice the brake very stiff if the car sits for hours. Some vacuum leak somewhere.
And also sometimes vibrates a bit when braking, I suspect the problem is the rear drum.
Anyways, did some interior mods with this:
Also replaced my air vents because they were broken and fitted these:
Replaced my homemade buttons surround fix with a good looking piece too.
Went to MOT:
And passed with only advisories for oil leaks.

And replaced the gasket. What a mess I found... The old one wasn't fit properly, was bent on the little "finger" in the top left corner, near the belt cover.
I've put a bit of sealant too (after properly degreasing)
Then left it cure. Tomorrow I'll start her up and check.

Wich OBD adapter and software are you using to read the Puma errors?
I had one from amazon but returned it because either on the Puma or my Berlingo it wouldn't connect. The one i had worked fine in my Volvo so it wasn't broken.

and 4 new tyres.
discovered some things i didn't liked, but it's life...
now, facing the P0500 error since the change, time to check if the sensor is knackered or not, since the car sometimes drops to 500 rpm

Car would shut down and error p0500. Solved by fitting new vss
Leaks from gearbox
The gearbox breather was fit incorrectly.
Today I had time to fit it in the correct way. (arrow pointing to the car front and rounded corners facing the gearbox)
Did a top speed run, clocked 210km\h (that's 130mph)
Lets see how it behaves

Also, expected to order lowering springs from h&r, 30mm.
15 days ago did a trip from Portugal to Spain, all by motorway.
Ran over 140 miles, always in speeds between 85 to 130mph. It sure needed a long run with premium fuel, 98RON xD
Consumed a little of oil, but not much.
Also, bought a cargo belt to fix my tall battery in the box.

The most important ones are:
Lowered it 30mm with H&R springs and got new dampers for the rear.
4 Goodyear efficientgrip performance tyres
Pipercross air filter
Also installed a new head unit with reverse camera.
