Join the club and use your 3 year warranty if you need it. Afraid I got no guarantee when I married the Mrs all those years ago and she is still around. Just wondering if I had had a three year warranty on her how often would I have used it? Talk to your prospective dealer, tell him that you have been researching the Puma and have come up with so fairly common faults. List what you are concerned about and wait for his answer. Better still get the service manager and chat to him. Ask how he has dealt with these issues in the past. If he tries to fob you off by saying that he never had one for warranty work in go elsewhere. The service manager is the man to talk to not the salesman. If you need further convincing I must let you phone my Mrs. She loves the Puma. Good luck.
