I've had my Puma nearly 4 years and i love her to bits! However, things aren't running as smoothly as they once did sad.gif she doesn't start too good, even though she's had a full service and smokes when started up and needs a new cat due to a previous illness when the coil pack blew up the ECU. She has a rusty offside rear wheel arch, been keyed twice (rather visciously) down the other side and has a peg missing from the parcel shelf.

So, all in all she's not a well pussy cat! Does anyone have any money saving ideas as it would break my heart to trade her in for anything else? unsure.gif

P.s. She is a 1.6 2001 Y in moondust silver with lots of love still to share!

Thanks in advance biggrin.gif Lyndsey xx

Shop around for prices take it to garages not dealers arches could be a problem as it may come back eventually should be able to get your main problems solved I'd definitely shop around for prices to fix your problems

welcome along - sorry to hear of your woes but they all sound fixable at hopefully not too much cost

scrappies and ebay may prove a useful source for parts

come up and see me...make me smile :wink:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

You could always trade her in for another... maybe a 1.7?
