Wonder what the OP went with...
Zero.... Good to know
I'm in the same boat as u.... having '95 Defender 110 Wgn (sort of my daily driver), '09 Tdci Puma 110 wgn (currently prepping it for a desert crossing this year), but I also have a Tdi300 Disco-1(daily driver when I want AC and feeling lazy and want an Auto) which I also love as well.... IS and would be very hard to part with any one of them... If only rego was cheaper up here in Qld
Wonder what the OP went with...
After reading through all 13 pages, it seems to me that the OP went with a TDCi Puma.
Personally I have owned my TDCi for 6 years now and the one and only thing I have had to replace on it (whilst still under warranty) was one hinge of the sunroof. This snapped with a loud ping when I was closing the sunroof. Apart from that and normal servicing items, nothing else has been replaced or broken. Now I know a lot of people who purchased a whole variety of brand new cars from various marques and have had a hell of a lot more issues with them over the same time frame than a small sunroof hinge. Two of those cars didn't even last 6 years.
Even looking back at all the cars that I have owned over the years, my 2013 TDCi Puma 90 is the most reliable car I have ever owned. Can't complain about that.
Excellent. How many kms has your 90 done? Have you replaced any driveline parts as preventative maintenance? Adapter shaft? Axles/flanges?
Yep. One clutch for mine, plus a broken wire to one of the rear door locks. Also replaced a plastic heater valve. Done 127,000 Ks.
I've had the intercooler changed, (Turbo hoses, ecu & MAF sensor changed beforehand as they couldn't find the split intercooler)
recall on the output shaft didnt fix the noise, so they replaced the gearbox, then the clutch, pressure plate etc.
Corrosion around the alpine windows was repaired, and they replaced the fuel filler hoses and associated breather hoses after
it dumped diesel all over on my drive outside of warranty and they did it as good will because it was serviced its entire life at LR.
Luckily it was all done as warranty and I have a great dealer that looked after me really well, and gave me a loaner each time I had an issue.
I own, and have owned and driven Series 2's Series 3's, 300tdi, and driven TD5's, whilst I would have any of them, I wouldn't give up my Puma, love it!

You must now cut down the tallest tree in the forest... With... A HERRING!!!!!
TD5 Defender 270000 kms the only warranty claims were dents in the body.
Have done much preventative maintenance but it’s never failed to proceed
Just curious here.... but has anyone had to replace their PUMA Injectors &/or TD5 Injectors and what is the cost comparisons like?
