Hello from a proud Puma owner, also living in Portugal.
I know your feeling, have been there, mine took nearly two months to arrive,

Another thing I find odd about this engine is that the clutch pedal vibrates along with the motor. It's really noticeable when changing gears. Does anyone else have this?

Meh, mine is the standard one and I find it's just ok.

Hello @Luca,
I think I have the same rattling squirrel noise in my recently acquired Puma. Did you manage to get yours sorted?
