I hadn't gotten that far down the wish list on that car. That air intake is so low on the Pumas and hydraulic lock is such a nasty thing. I'll post a thread (with pics) about it when the issue isn't as raw.

Marko - congrats on your purchase! I just picked up my new white MY11 110 wagon last Friday (my 4th 110 wagon - for the record #3 is the only one I've damaged), but it beats me how you managed to clock up 1100Kms in 2 days!!! I've only managed a few hundred Kms.

That Fuji white is pretty bright, huh? I wanted Stornoway Grey again but wasn't willing to wait for an extra 3 months.

BTW - check the front of the roof gutters for paint defects... Mine had them as did another new white Puma I've seen. All getting fixed under warranty

In the 5 days that I've had it all I've managed to get sorted is a snorkel, cargo barrier (inc extinguishers), steering guard, front diff guard, black wing protectors, recovery points and bull bar... off to Mulgo on Friday for an ex-box then I'll be wiring accessories (UHF, Hema, worklight, winch, dual batteries etc) and getting BFG M/Ts with TMPS next week when I'm on holidays. The RTA lost my custom plates so I'm waiting for them to provide replacements.

Hint: check out his 'location' - he'll have a few 1000 more by the time he gets home .

I was wondering about Marko's location that but didn't check. Personally, I'm intent on completing the factory defined run-in doing stop/go city driving rather than freeway driving.

BTW - maybe it was a mistake, but the service period was written on the MY10's windscreen as 12,000km and on the MY11 it was written as 10,000km. 10,000 checks out with the MY11 manual. Can anyone with a MY10 or earlier Puma verify the service interval? Maybe the dealer made a mistake when they wrote 12,000 on the MY10.

Also, I had not had any issues whatsoever with the MY10 puma although 8,000 is merely a blip on the radar. Hope the same happens with the MY11.

Hi RVR110
Which side is the extinguishers on your barrier (passenger or load)?
btw I heard about your previous vehicle's demise, not a happy ending

The extinguishers are on the passenger side. If they were on the cargo side I'd never be able to access them when the back is loaded up with camp gear

Makes sense now I think about it, I was imagining the extinguishers being mounted vertically and getting in the way of passenger's heads

Even I occasionally need a break from making positive and constructive contributions, and It gives me such a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that you feel better now.
Wagoo.
