    Caution for those of you with Puma doors. If you have to pull hard to slam the doors you may have an issue. I just noticed this on the 1985 2.5NA that I have been using as my daily driver. Do not know if they are not adjusted properly, or of ratty seals and difficulty closing make a...

    My wife was rear ended today in our 1986 MoD 90. She is a little sore but should be Okay. She was slowing for a stop sign, shifting from 3rd to 2nd, doing 25mph or less when hit. The offending car was a Fiat 500. (Have a good laugh, I did!) We have one of those inexpensive aluminum cargo...

    Hi everyone, I need to remove the center console in a '97 SW, and I'm concerned about breaking the bits and pieces, especially considering how rare they are. I've read the instructions in the workshop manual, but the details are a little thin. I can pull the stereo, CD player, and cubby with...
