Thread: 2.2 Puma vs 2.4 Puma

The thing that gets me is you ask any van owner about towing vehicles and they all say big engines are best,the 200 series being the pick but then they go out on the open road and sit on 80 because they can't afford the fuel. Pat

bit late now cal but there is a green 130 sat a dealership in narrellen, also a black 90 and the usual mix of discos and rangies

Hi Mick

I'm on my second set of mats, worn a hole through the drivers one in each set but kept them in the shed as spares. So I just attacked them with some large tube patches. Worked a treat and good or another 5+ years, they are fantastic, fit perfectly, easy to clean an shake the sand off.

When do you get the new beast?

Should be flying up to brisbane later this week, just trying to line up a way of getting to maroochydore from brisbane then driving it home, so hopefully should have it for next weekend but i dont want to bring it on the beach run, need to run it in a bit first

Mick don't go the icom! Go with GME I hav had all brands and currently have the icom can't remember what model it is at the moment the one that is all in the hand piece ...and on average the GME is the best....
As for egr I don't know what affects it has on the computer being all electronic controlled but tombie will know??

As for driving the isuzu perenties were these army owned or sivilian ?

Strange when LRA did not even know anything about the new 2.2 Defender coming out, I was only talking to bruce Lyton about this a few weeks ago, and they had never heard that this was happening, so much so, a number of people, both there and Oz wide ordered a 2.4 Defender, but will get. 2.2 Defender instead, with no warning from there dealer. The next build for Australia is later this month, so these will be 2.2's. There's still a large number of 2.4s out there at the dealers, seems a lot of 90's and a few 130 chassis cabs.
