Hi all,

Just bought a 1999 Puma 1.7 for my daily commute.
Any other Puma owners got any advice to give?

Cheers

If you've got any questions about them, feel free to ask...

Things to watch: opening the boot when it's been raining... as it tends to bring all the water INTO the boot. Trick is to open it, and lift it about a foot... let the water drain off and THEN open it fully.

Headlights are generally pretty crap. Buy some Philips Blue Vision bulbs to cure the problem... www.powerbulbs.com

Puma is VERY sensitive to tyre pressures and tracking.. so make sure they are all in, otherwise you will scrub the tyres VERY quickly.

Like I said - any questions, drop me a line.

Buy yourself some nice 17" wheels.

The Puma handles well, but with the low profiles on it, it corners on rails!

One of the most fun cars I owned (Well apart from the Racing Puma )
