The Puma can be got into with the same method, but you need some wire about twice as thick as a coat hanger (around 4mm) with an 'P' shape bent at one end and a 90 degree bend at the hand end ;) ..............

This is because once you get behind the interior handle with the 'P' you need to twist the 'P' to flick the handle out, normal coat hanger just bends ;)

Note for Mods.......... This info is no good to car theives because the Puma has PATS built in to the EECV, so it will not start without the right key ;)

Cheers Dave

yes they have deadlocks so you cant open the doors if you smash a window.but if you use a small angel grinder on the o/s rear light you can get in and pop the taillgate take out the lock and get the code to cut a new key bit animalish but needs must.

Can't be all Puma's that Deadlock,, mines a V reg, originally a 1.7 Lux, and that didn't deadlock when the keys got locked in ;)

Ah, like the old Vauxhalls then,
When it happened to mine it must have only had one press, it was when I first got it, before I stripped it all down to start the project :)

Guess I just got lucky then...........

I'll check that when the wiring is all back in it :)

Cheers Dave
