Finally got my car yesterday after 7 months, well worth the wait. I have found the car a pleasure to drive and well pleased with my colour choice and spec.
The Ford dealer in Lowestoft were really good once again, I have used them 5 times previously and James Sutton the new car sales person is spot on, no flannel and no pushy sales patter. I only do about 4000 miles per year so just bought the basics for my needs.

Solar Silver, 155 vignale Automatic, pan roof, 4 mud flaps, front and rear dash cams.

I don't know about oneshot, but I just removed the Nextbase one I had in my old car and fitted it to the Puma myself. 30 minute job and did not even need to remove any panels (just make sure you have a long socket extension to get to the earth bolt and the right size fuse jumper).

My Nextbase is now five and a half years old and works as well as it did when new.

Rumour has it that the Nextbase rear cam causes problem with DAB reception. Can anyone confirm.

A pair of Nexbase, and everything seems to work fine.

There is an article by David Artiss who has overcome most of the interference problems caused by rear dash cams. Worth a read if only for future reference. https://artiss.blog/2021/11/ford-puma-h ... r-dashcams

Have now sold my Puma for a Kuga st line x which I pick up on the14th June. The puma was brilliant and the only reason it is going is when my son and family came the car was not big enough. It has been great reading the ups and downs various members have had and the way to cure them. A big thank you.
