Re: Puma 125 slightly down on power after main dealer service

Thanks for your reply Ron , yes it’s the cdti 1.6 engines in the astras that have had updates and cars feel somewhat sluggish after installed. Quite a few owners are saying ‘no thanks’ to the update during service time. Also known that VX won’t take update off once done. All very strange and gets me...

Puma 125 slightly down on power after main dealer service

Afternoon guys, Have noticed a slight decrease in power on my st-line x 125 (2022) after its 1st service a few weeks back. Initially didn’t think about mentioning it but now I’m getting a little suspicious as to why power is down. Serviced at main dealer , only 9k on clock so low mileage driver. Occ...

Re: New Ford Capri.

Another name reinventing itself soon is the ‘Honda prelude’. Just seen a pic from a car show. Yeah it’s ok but I had an original mk1 prelude and that brings back fond memories. Great little car to drive with all of 84bhp from its 1.6 carb engine.Electric sunroof as well lol but as always in the 80’s...

Or rather what am I looking for - a weekender convertible . Thought between now and new year good time to look around , ideally something like an Audi TT 1.8 / 2.0 s-line . About £15-18k to spend. Did look at merc slk / slc and still like them but think TT has the edge in looks . Time to scour the a...

Re: Insurance renewal.

My daughter told me her insurance had gone up by about 25% this year. She contacted her insurance and they said everyone has put them up due to repairs being more expensive. After a check on the usual sites, this is correct. So, expect your premium to go up guys. 40% for my st-line x ! No changes e...

Re: First music gig?.... Favourite gig?

First gig - depeche mode 1983 Brighton
Best gig - agree with Sanny Michael Jackson history tour 1997 - amazing. Tina turner with belinda carlisle similar year also superb.
