No problems Tim, I promise we're not all about Calendars

Our price for the pump would be similar to that quoted for dispatch from the UK however ours is dispatching from Perth - much cheaper freight to your door than from overseas. If you'd like me to quote just flick me a PM or an email with your VIN so I can be certain on part numbers

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the in formation on products you supply. I will keep you in mind when it comes to purchasing these items. I was not aware that non-dealer Puma parts were starting to become available now and that we are now not totally locked in to the dealer pricing. It is good to know. It is also good that we can support Australian suppliers who can sell items at a competitive price.

seems now the truck is throwing up a fault code. an internal electrical fault in the ECU, so rare that LRA are getting one out from UK. and we will see what happens.
let the electrickery begin.

when you say EGR I first think Exhaust Gas Return if not do pumas hav them and if so is it worth while blocking it off ?

Yep, it's exactly that.

The Puma has an annoying ECU-controlled EGR, which means you can't just blank it off like on the Td5. If you do, the Engine Malfunction Light comes on & stays on.

BAS has now developed an ECU remap that basically tells the EGR valve to stay shut, see this thread on the UK forum:Defender2 - View topic - EGR shut to minimium tuning upgrade available at BAS & I

and I'll be in perth on spanners post Xmas..

If you want a hand changing it out. let me know.

Damn I wish it was as easy as bridging or open circuiting the contact it would give more power and longer engine life as well am I correct ?

I'll be taking the book of words with me to see if there isnt the potential for a simple fix.
