I can't speak for the Puma, but I have on more than one occasion had the throttle completely submerged on my td5 with no issues whatsoever.

Installed Mulgo's X-Box yesterday. The instructions were excellent. Quality equipment.

Not sure if I have put the relays back in the same position. Will have to look under another Puma's seat when I get a chance. (I would label them first next time.)

My arm slightly touches the X-Box when changing gears. Should I remove the timber packers from under the cubby?

You will get used to changing gears with your arm resting on top of the cubby box and using your wrist for swapping the gogs.

Even 3000kg of 130

My heart rate increased slightly

[edit] it was no where near as spectacular as the old Safari Snorkel video with the Jackaroo, but the river I went across was a mountain stream well and truly in flood and going bloody quickly.
I'll try and find the Jackaroo vid.

Here it is

Yep.

Some are going a tad too quickly for a mere human.

We are talking about landrovers here... they leak too fast to ever float...

This one obviously is much more water tight than a landie though.
