Nice view of the differences Spud!
I've been in the 'lucky' group of Puma owners (so far) and not had any issues with it. Had a new rear diff under warranty, but that was just clunky/noisy on orverrun and not a show stopper. Also had a new CD player, when the old one refused to spit out my CDs, but I'd be sure that wasn't made by Land Rover.
Well said Spuds...
Mine is in for service this week to address the rattle, crunch and EGR/hesitation issues - just dropped it off !
I drop mine in tomorrow, hope its back for the week end.Quote:

Will see what happens tomorrow.:mad::mad::mad:

When I responded that that made mine pretty good (as it was only about 1 cm), the sarcasm was well and truly lost on him. :D
Good luck with this clutch mission Allan. But as others have said, if you get no joy - try a LR specialist and get a written report, or try the other dealer.
Hope it works out for you - my Puma is at the dealers as we speak for a steering ball replacement - warranty item # 45,098 for my heap of ****.
Any further thoughts on the clutch issue? Mine hasn't done 70k yet and it looks like it will need another clutch soon. That will make it 5 clutches in two years.
Matt I think you need to take your car to a specialist maybe Graeme cooper or someone like that....either your not getting the upgraded clutches when they are being changed and your getting the older ones in place from old stock on the shlef or you got issues going on else where I think.
I agree Lou.
