Fuel filler restrictor busted!
Yet more bloody issues with my Puma... Big Cry

Now the fuel filler restrictor has detached from the filler hole, and fallen into the tank.. And water leaking through the screen seal.

Getting fed up with all the minor faults that take multiple dealer visits to fix.. I am close to selling it, and buying a bike!

Quality British engineering eh??!!! Rolling with laughter ... ,-------,

Yours for just £321 and it folds up too (sometimes intentionally!) half the price of the brand leader Brompton. Rolling with laughter

I suggest you take a very good look and check every inch of your rig before you visit the stealer with the list of faults. Get a courtesy car. Puma 110" SW

I guessed it was a doctored photo - it was about the sum total of my push bike knowlegde to spot that Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

I know nothing about push biked, but have some psycho friends that think its fun to ride up and down moutains, in fact to go on holiday to ride...and i brought them the complete land rover bike range catalogue round to their house to be told what was good and not - im still none the wiser but know every bike they buy ends up with more expensive bits on despite how good the unmodified thing is.

all i can say is why push a bike when you can drive or not go Rolling with laughter Mike

3rd class ride is better than a first class walk and as the Land Rover saying goes "if it ain't leaking its empty" If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.
