Another update had my timing belt kit and water pump replaced charged me 300 quid for the job. The old belt still ok not really any signs of wear for it's age and the water pump was the original but was little rusty, had both replaced. He did say that there was a new aux belt on it which I put on and he said he used it again, but I said it's stretch belt one time use, he then said it was fine as he gets on and off a different way. But he did also replace the air con belt at no extra price . Looking at parts timing belt kit and water pump both drayco and air con belt Mitsubishi, for 300 quid seems good job for price.

On Sunday, Lidl might just be your friend.... for £29.99 PARKSIDE 12V Cordless Polisher/Sander | Lidl

Are we talking auto or manual here? Manual gearknobs are often found seperately on Ebay etc, around £50 new, but auto might be a different story.

Hi there.. l had been to look at 6 pumas before settling on my puma st line 155 and three had some of the chrome missing from the gear knob.. l asked one dealer if he could replace the knob but on checking he found out that it was only available as a complete gearstick/ shift system so l passed .. l thought l had checked the one l finally ended up with but after 8 months of ownership l can feel a scratchy bit on the edge of the knob where possibly the chrome is coming away.. possibly a dot of superglue will sort it.🙂

I've been happy with Autoglym and Meguiars over the years. Also used Zymol if you want to splash the cash!😀

I went for it taking into account positive comments from other members on here, and the high replacement cost of things like adaptive lights. I believe prices vary taking into account mileage at commencement, etc, but mine was £156 commencing April.

Yes the oil made no real improvement.

Personally I think the 1.25 sounds quite good as well especially when it needs to be revved (not so much the noise from the tappets though). I also liked the higher pitched noise of the much older 1.6, not sure if the modern ones still sound the same.

I’ve got the FHEV, which has the same 2.5L petrol engine as in the PHEV, but detuned a bit. Still about 185hp and it’s AWD. As said previously the MPG figure isn’t brilliant. In winter I only average about 38, but in the warmer months get about 46 and can get over 50 on a run. The beauty of the FHEV is that you don’t ever have to plug it in and although it can only do a few miles on electric alone, it continually charges up as you go, so that few miles gets replenished over and over thanks to regenerative braking. I had relatives up recently and took them for a little tour which was just over 100 miles and nearly 30 of that was electric miles. This was on country roads and if it was motorway miles the electric wouldn’t cut in as often.
