Hey Jeff,

I have read plenty of threads on the D2 forum about TD5's and their reliability etc. I also have read quite a number about Puma's on here. The way I see it is Puma's are only several years old and TD5's are up to 11 years old, one would expect problems from engines that are now up to that old.
I am surprized though about how many issues some Puma owners are facing in such a short time.

Still this hasn't put me off looking at getting either a decent TD5 130 or a late model 2.4 130 if they turn out to be a much better bit of gear and end up suiting my needs.

So I take it that the none of the running gear from a D1 is interchangeable with a Puma apart from maybe the wheels?

cheers,
Terry
