Hi
I purchased 200 quid window kit and one of the motors let me down
Trying to find a replacement but everywhere is telling me I must buy a full 200 quid kit and a single motor is not available
Anybody else had this issue?
Also been trying to seek some help from britpart directly and wow what an awful team they have there in sales dept
FYI for people looking to buy this kit if one part breaks out of warranty you need to buy a full new kit

So I'm having issues now where the vehicle has cut out on me while very low revs. I think it could he related to the light. It starts up again no problem and goes fine. The vehicle has also had a remap on it I think before I purchased it but if i go on the motorway in 6th gear for maybe 5 or 10 mins the map disappears and it goes to standard or maybe worse performance but not what I'd describe as limp mode
Very strange fault but I would assume it's got to be a sensor or something to do with the remap?

Had the new pads and it's not fixed it scratching my head here
-
The mot guy did tell me my pads were low and I've got a set coming asap. Do you know that low pads can trigger the light or is it a guess? Fingers crossed that's what it is

Cheers for the reply
I did think that as my other car shows that icon with the handbrake but I cant seem to get the handbrake to effect that at all in any situation so I don't think that icon is hand brake related on the puma but not 100%

Hi
My puma is flashing the exclamation mark in a red circle warning like on and off intermittently. I googled what it means and it was apparently low brake fluid. I checked and it was ok but I added some just incase but the light is still flicking on and off rapidly and intermittently
Any ideas?
Cheers

Putting heavy duty springs in my tdi was one of the worst things I ever did. Makes the ride too harsh from now on I'll always go standard if I ever come to have to change them

Hi all
I'm installing electric windows into my puma... all the hard work is done. Im at the point now where all my wiring is at the fuse board. I have one of those piggy back fuses to go in to give me my ignition live. I was going to just bolt the negative to earth but not sure if this is the best. Any advice on if this is how to do it or if you'd run a negative from the battery up to connect
Cheers

It would need to be a puma 90 hardtop chassis plate if anybody could help who has one
-
Cheers for the help so far
I've managed to find some perfect ones in eBay for a fraction of the price only problem is I don't know the weight values etc that go in them. Would anybody be willing to send a pic of their plate (with your chassis number covered of course) just to show how it is laid out. I'm also struggling with the colour code. My car was originally a lovely light blue but the theifs rollered it red. I've now had it painted corris grey would I be better putting the old paint code or the new paint code
Cheers for any help in advance

I've also realised that the window plate is missing too and can't find any of them on eBay or anything. anybody ever sourced one of those outside of lr main dealers as that is criminal for a metal plate 200 quid
-
my god i called a main dealer and been quoted £200 for it. surely thats not correct

My car is a stolen recovery and the thiefs removed it

Hi all
I'm after a chassis vin or frame plate for my puma. The one under the bonnet. Does anybody know where I can get one. I can only fine older style ones on eBay nothing that looks like a puma one although I wouldn't know as nothing to compare to.
Cheers for help in advance

Hi
I've decided to install alpine windows into my 90 van. I've made the cut using a template and the hole is bang on to the template. I'm having difficulty getting the window to sit right in the seal. The hole where the bead strip goes seems very tight. My thoughts are to file the hole larger and keep trying to fit it but I don't want to go too big. Anybody done this before got any advice or help?
Cheers
Tom

It's a 90 sorry I should have said

Hi
I've got some alpine windows that I intent to install in my none alpine window roof. I'm after some help with the hole location from the back edge does anybody have the dimensions or where I can find a cutting guide? Also it's a puma and I'll be installing the headlining not sure if they are in same place on earlier models?
Cheers
Tom
-
thanks for the reply. you don't happen to know the correct dimensions for a window. hopefully they've done a good job if so!

hi all
i have recently picked up a 2011 puma 90. i suspect somebody has either cut their own windows in or used older ones as these side windows are not the sliding type i am used to seeing. i think i will stay with the solid one piece as it doesn't bother me enough to change it but i was wondering if anybody has any experience fitting the interior trim to this style of rear window and if it fits ok?
-
Thanks for all the help! Will have a look into all of these!
-
Hi
Anybody have these fitted and what the biggest I can get on a standard height defender without any serious consequences. Any photos if so?
-
hi all
I'm looking into getting my two doors and rear door on my 90 trimmed in leather but can't seem to get prices online anywhere to get a rough idea of the cost. anybody had this done and if so what was the cost? any examples of the work done would be great too for some inspiration?
