2005 Sharan - what do we know?

Office chum is looking to replace his sheddy A-class LWB with a sheddy Sharan. Car has 11 months MOT - but do they have any common faults/things to look for when buying a ~£1000 example other than the obvious 'as it 'ad cambelt mate?' type stuff? It's a TDi 130 if that makes much difference, althoug...

Re: Bye Bye, Little Puma/EOTR

TBF, it says "if tampered with", so a full removal MIGHT be ok, so long as your gases are still clear and passing the various tests. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44167243 Or you just make sure there's a heatshield that prevents visual inspection of the DPF without removing it. So I'...

Re: Bye Bye, Little Puma/EOTR

EOTR - 2000 Ford Puma Millenium Edition So, long time coming but the Puma has been effectively off the road for over a year now, and dead in the water for the last six months after I drew the fucking line at another £600 MOT - this time requiring £400 of fuel tank, and then subsequently, £600 of wel...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Puma - Gone. Mondeo - ticking along nicely, although the front end of it now looks like some kind of genocidal statement towards insect life of all stripes. It's hideous . I should probably clean it up next time I'm down at the missus's for a full weekend (as opposed to this weekends one night stayo...

Re: Bye Bye, Little Puma

Aside, I've already had the Mondeo remapped to a subtle, but useful 180-190bhp and 280-300lb/ft - plenty of shove for motorway stuff. I'm sort of tempted to have the DPF and swirl flaps removed, and (if the turbo would be able to use it) a slightly more open exhaust system, but unless it made major ...

Re: Bye Bye, Little Puma

I hadn't realised it was debadged for the ULTIMATE Q CAR look 8-) I hadn't even realised meself TBH. I'm sort of tempted to look at getting a shiny tip on the end that actually exits the valance, but that would probably require acquiring a Tit-X sport valance, which would mean getting a dual-exit p...

Re: Bye Bye, Little Puma

Bye bye Puma. So, remap or audio/phone stuff with the monies? Fixing the clutch in the Citroen in bros car, more like - which he needs for work, of which there isn't much at the moment in Scarbs (he's doing temping, some trade stuff, some just general manual labour) so, er, yeah. That's eaten that,...

Bye Bye, Little Puma/EOTR

So, the day has arrived where I finally pull my finger out and get shot of the Puma. Only five months after I got the Mondeo, cough cough. Long story short - the chap I got half the spare parts from - start motor, alternator, axle set of wheels, etc has taken it off my hands for a small amount, and ...

Re: Decent Recent TV

The Expanse I'm hoping a certain major plot device has been finally introduced (having read the books) as it's about damned time it showed up! I think Amos might be on the money with "What The Fuck Is THAT" :o :shock: Seriously, Ep6 was out-of-this-world levels of awesome. Slight spoilier...

Re: It's the weekend

Think it's going to be a busy one. Well - as busy as trying to do any two things at opposite ends of the country in two days would be. Pfft, they're not opposite ends of the country..... *checks google maps* Sigh, actually that's the better part of a quarter of my weekend in the car (around ten hou...

Re: It's the weekend

Friday: Swift half in the pub methinks
Saturday: Go through to Scarbs to get Puma lifted, hand over keys etc. Then drive down to Herts from Scarbs to see the missus who's not having a good week.
Sunday: Drive back up.

Think it's going to be a busy one.

Re: Can we have some moderators?

Well I've restricted registrations now, so that's fixed the issue with spammers, and the forum doesn't show up in any searches or anything so I doubt many are going to stumble by and try to join. If they do, they'll just have to wait until I can tick the box to complete their registration. The prob...
