Sounds perfecly reasonable to me :BigThumb:

Does the late TD5 Defender extreme have anti stall as does the Puma, when moving it around in the drive at home it seems to react in a similer manner. Ive not tried it off road as yet so any imfo would help.

apparently the Td5 does have antistall Although I have heard not as refined as the Puma..

not owning a td5 I'm only going on what I have read here

thaks rovercare :D lol

I don't have a TD5, or Puma, but I'm going to hazard a guess that the main improvement is due to the variable geometry/nozzle turbo on the Puma engine.

Put a similar turbo on a TD5, then compare them - that would be interesting. I don't think they have been improving the engine technology as much as the turbo technology (IIRC the turbo on the V6 3.0 litre is newer technology/generation again).

I have seen other threads/posts on AULRO where people have been expressing hope for the 2.7/3.0 litre V6 in the Defender replacement. IMHO the V6 is too expensive to manufacture and a similar displacement straight 4 with similar technology (common rail injection and variable geometry or 2 stage turbo), will give the performance sought (just not as smooth as a 6 cyl).

another 2 pumas come in today with clutch probs, and one had the new "uprated" clutch;);) both gear boxes out,

We'd better not mention the Td5 clutch master cylinder issue or the dual mass flywheel or we'll scare him off both types :p:D
