OK - So after 5 weeks in the dealers to have the fuel system repaired. I pick up my Puma yesterday - Drove it home.   This morning when it started it's missing really badly and blowing white smoke.  This cleared after a few minutes.  I figured it must be some left over cleaning fluid or something like that.   But then when I filled it up with diesel it's pouring diesel out of the fuel tank from somewhere.   After a few minutes the diesel stopped leaking - so I drove it home - but when I got it home it's started pouring/ dripping out again.  
I'm a bit reluctant to drive it back to the dealers cause I don't want the be the person who causes some poor sod on a motorcycle to drop his load on the spilled diesel.
  
FYI- There's a new breather system on mine now - to replace the crappy located My09 breather. not sure where it ends up but there's a long pipe in it's place now that runs up the rear of the body work.
I figure I'll take advantage of their roadside assist and get it flat bedded back to the dealer. To be honest I'm a tad annoyed - it went in for a number of other warranty items - which seem to have been only partially completed again, (second visit for these items). To top it off there are various parts left in the rear load area. You'd think 5 weeks would be enough time for someone to check their work. So far out of the 6 months of ownership it's been in the dealers for nearly 2 months......
p.s Being a sucker for punishment - I really like the look of the 110 Crew Cab, apparently it's quite a bit cheaper than the 110 Station Wagon. Has anyone seen one in real life? Is the load area big enough for a few bales of hay?
