Just put our 2001 Ford Puma in for it's 36000 mile service. Change all fluids and filters and replace cam-belt, water pump and HC valve as preventative maintenance. Then in for it's MOT tomorrow.

MOT deferred for a day as now replacing all wishbones and droplinks with new oem parts as existing bushes are showing signs of perishing after 14 years.

To be expected and it might drive even better afterwards
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

Passed the MOT but because the DVSA computer has collapsed only get a hand scribbled "Contingency MOT Test Certificate" and cannot tax the car with it. What a shambles every government IT project turns out to be.

Having replaced the wishbones and ARB links with new Ford parts have decided to complete the job by replacing the 14 year old rear bushes too.

She still drives like a dream, never been welded and no rusty arches yet.
