But the Td5's never had a noise issue.

Maybe the Puma model is that much quieter that you can hear the diff noise now .

hahahahah pull the other one

Hi Scott,

My comment was more in relation to the dropping of the Salisbury from Defenders rather than the noisy Puma diff issue.

The quality issue with some of the diffs being installed in the Puma is a known issue:

Umm, yeah I know.
The point I was getting at is that it's supposed to be the same diff as the Td5 but it suddenly becomes noisy once fitted to a Puma.

Hang on, do puma's (the animal) howl?
Maybe it's a design feature !!

Thank goodness they didn't call it a COUGAR, all sorts of whining and squarking would've appeared....

yeah and they would of come out with a leapod print paint scheme

I didn't realise that the TD5 shared the same rear dif as the Puma

However if my info is correct there could be an explanation for this, I believe production of diff parts such as crown an pinions were moved to another department and it became a quality issue

The early Td5s had the regular Salisbury then they went to the Rover type diff. This carried over into the Pumas.
