    ONE DRY PUMA...

    Well after 15 weeks, 6 attempts they have finally got it.....

    Had lots of rain on the central coast last night, first rain since getting the PUMA back from the 6th attempt to stop the water ingress into the front foot wells.(appropriately named)

    I left it out on the driveway last night.... just checked it and "da dar".... dry-no water leaks on either of the foot wells.

    It has had every seal replaced from the turret down to the chassis, some twice. The last time they replaced the windscreen panel seal.

    Very happy now, just goes to show – perseverance does pay off, warranty works and 3 years is only just enough time.....

    I'm assuming the title of the thread is the worldwide total?

    AFAIK the Defender is the only vehicle I have owned where the factory publish a manual on how to stop the leaks...

    Park it on an angle to one side, then the other... then see if it's still dry.

    If there is no water in it,please remove the Land Rover badge and send it back to the factory,because someone obviously stuck it on the wrong vehicle

    At last, you will need an under body water tank now when you go away as you have lost your onboard tanks

    Its probably all pooling inside the bulkhead ready to rust out

    You should weigh your Defender - I bet its 20kg (of Sikaflex) heavier

    Well done Mate, Congratulations don't listen to all the negative people, they either want a dry defender, want a puma or want a SVX and you have all three
