Nice info drover is the water leak on the passenger side footwell? Mine leaks both sides onto feet but im used to it from other rovers! Personally I wouldn't buy another rover the last decent one made in my opinion was the county but anyhow im hessitant of doing any performance upgrades due to the fact the driveline hates what it has now 3rd rear diff and its even worse than the first 2 the window clips break all the time allowing the window to stay inside the door,hand brake leak,radio didn't play cd's (no biggie),panhard rod came loose ( also no biggie),clutch/some sort of ting noise at idle and that's about it oh and the window buttons smoking from behind haha all these problems are not that bad just average things (just coming onto 1yr old and just over 40k on clock) the main issue is the diff which land rover still refuse my request (they provide a sailsbury and pay $746 which is what the current diff is worth and I make up the rest to purchase the sailsbury) answer from LR australia was NO it will not then be genuine for that model pffft my answer "no it wont but it will be stronger and you won't see me again" (they also replied what is a sailsbury ?
Anyways that's my 2 bobs worth

Ps: would love to take all the luxuries of the puma and put in my county so then theres power and comfort

c.h.i.e.f,I'll be in Cessnock in 9-10 weeks,I was going to get Triggs or English auto's at Tuggerah to fit an Ashcrofts HD CW/P set to mine while I was there.That might be a good option. Pat

Never thought of that is it going to be expensive ? Is yours still under warranty? Might see you buzzing around whilst your down ...

Ashcrofts are well priced and it's still under warranty but I'll do it anyway.I've sold my black L322 to my bro in law at Kitchener so you'll see it driving around soon. Pat

Your bro live on the road that links kitchener to aberneathy and also owns a white county ad a vomit colour one? what's his name ? Im always at kitchener so may see you around

Hey Drover,

I've got a Allisport intercooler to fit to my 08 Puma and was wondering what is the trick to get the latch panel out ? The studs stop the latch panel from just sliding up, are they removed from one side from inside ?

Have you any tips on the best way to install the intercooler ? I looked at
the 2010.06_Defender_MY07_on_Workshop_Manual_Complete. pdf manual but it seems a bit different to mine.

Any help appreciated.

Dirk............
