Ford Puma Exhaust Replacement Cost

When I bought my Puma one thing I'd noticed on the test drive and from checking previous MOT for advisory items was that the exhaust was in need of replacement.

The MOT had advised that the back and middle sections were blowing but on inspection the flexible front section also needed replacement. Having phoned around the best price for the complete Ford Puma exhaust I got was from Maidstone Exhaust centre at £180. Unfortunately not all the parts were immediately available so I booked the car in to have the exhaust done the next week.

Now the new exhaust fitting been completed and the car is sounding great!

Ford Puma Replacement Leather Interior

Thanks to a fantastic bargain I got on Ebay I picked up a new leather interior for my Ford Puma with all leather seats as well as door cards for the princely sum of £1.70! One rear door car was missing but I've managed to source a replacement for that.

All I need now is some time to clean and treat the leather and then enough spare time to actually fit it in the Puma.

Autocar Review of Ford Puma February 1997

I found a copy of Autocar from Feb 1997 with a review of the Ford Puma before it was released to the UK market. Interesting to read the perception and how it was viewed before it was actually road tested by any motoring journalists.

Ford Puma MPG Fuel Economy Consumption

What fuel economy do you get from a Ford Puma?

The Ford Puma has a 1.7 litre engine so it's surprising how economical the car is and how good the MPG fuel consumption is. So far I'm finding the car is getting an average of over 40 mpg with the best fuel economy so far being 42mpg. That's almost the same as the average I get from my diesel Passat estate!

Buying Ford Puma - Buying Guide and Common Faults

Almost 15 years after I first test drove one, I've finally bought myself a Ford Puma! By waiting 15 years I've also saved a huge amount of depreciation as it only cost me £500 compared to around £10,000 back in 2000!

There are a few common faults with the Ford Puma and this one has (or has had) most of them! Rusty rear wheel arches, molten steering wheel, parcel shelf falling into boot, heater valve failure and rear axle bushes deteriorated. Fortunately the rest of the car is great with low mileage and a comprehensive history file. First job is to give the Puma a full service and replace the exhaust as it was flagged as advisory on the last MOT.
