Funiest thing happened today, actually no wait, it wasn't funny. Dad was in the tractor, opened the door and the wind blew it clean off BOTH HINGES. I told him so many times to replace the gas strut thing that prevents this kinda thing from happening, but "sure it'll be grand" was the reply. For those of you who don't know what the door is like, then its the same as this, all glass. Wind blew it a good 2 - 3 metres away. I don't know how, but it didn't smash, thankfully, but both of the hinges are frigged.

Have you priced Pumas? Basically a Fiesta, insurance and motor tax are a little higher but they are nice. Hard to see out the back of though.
They are prone to hairdryer failure and straightening tong rattles.
I'm sure the problems aren't perm inant however 0 -
