I have also been looking into this, but as of yet no luck 
Just out of interest, has anyone else had any problems with water getting into the ECU?

Does anyone know where to find the engine number on the puma engine block?
Our 130 is in the dealers and they can't find the number. Don't ask! 
Please help

I put a few washers on the seat bolts underneath the existing rail raising it 20mm or so.
