| Just one thing too. In Australia, some service stations have some sort of wireless connection ( I think it was for the pump readings but not sure) but this interferes with the immobilizer on the PUMA ... |

Hello All!
Been a while since I last posted... My 2013 PUMA 2.2 has started stinking of coolant when you put the heater on. Looks like it's a major jjob to get to the heater core. Has anyone had ... |

I've seen a nearly new Puma which had a roof rack with some fuel up top, crushed the rear body down onto the chassis. This was due to some corrugated roads and off roading.
I'd never put a norma ... |

| Before using a roof rack you might want to have a look at just what holds up the roof on a 110. All that weight ends up concentrated on the rear quarter panels. Hit a few large bumps and you might f ... |

Was the weather hot?
What does your temperature gauge show when this happens?
Were you driving in 6th gear - I assume yes.
I've seen a few reports where the puma goes into limp mode due to overhe ... |

When my TD5 was new, the dealer fitted Series 3 Rubber vent seals to the flaps to fix a leak in the roof... (Well they tried at least.)
But the problem with these seals - for me at least was that ... |

I had a similar issue on my old 2.4 - although it did not sound like a V8 or I would have left it as is!
On mine the EGR started sticking, when the EGR is open the noise level increased dramatically ... |

| This is a common issue in hotter climates. The PUMA has a marginal cooling system at best. If the weather is hot then running it at maximum power will cause the ECU to go into self preservation mode ... |

Hello All,
I've had a PUMA since 2008. I've often wondered if that steel tray that the rear fold down seats bolt into is something that will rust out over time. There is quite a large gap there f ... |
