Thread: Puma slight power loss - any ideas?

Don't forget Bobby, as much as these trucks can be a pain, they usually don't need a tilt tray home.
Is it full of weight? just something from left field.
I can drive mine to work empty and it goes well, but fill it with work gear and come home and its down a bit on response.

Bobby,

I pray you will be on your way.

Awesome up at Willow Tree, I used to get around there quite a bit made a few friends over the years all from that region. Which reminds me have a mate in Murrindi that I have not spoken to in years.

I kick around east of there these days out past Gundy hard not to stop in at the Linga Longa, great Steak.

Anyways I'm sure you will be on your way and have a safe trip.

I do have a stack of stuff in the back but it's always in there....and the performance reduction happened part way through the journey. I got the hot sweats too when it happened - does anyone else get that?

When something happens and you know it's serious but you don't know what it is and all you think about is having to stop, hit the hazards and be "that guy" blocking a lane of the M5 in a tunnel because there's no hard shoulder?!

Maybe it's just me.
Maybe it's worth a separate thread! How we react when something goes clunk, or boom!, or psssssshhhft, or bang bang bang or the dials light up like a christmas tree and the hazards turn themselves on inexplicably.

I started to suffer from these symptoms not long after hitting 100k when I realised I would be paying to fix the issues.

Prior to that is was only when the wife nearly took out cars on the motorway.

Hope you find a quick, easy and inexpensive fix!!

when I start to think about the end of my I get twitchy and easily rattled. At the moment I don't really care what happens...... um well I do, but at least I'm not paying for it.

I have beginners luck I think, or lack of it. But I have been that guy twice.
Early in the piece the new truck decided it was going no further after I filled it up at a servo. Blocked the lane for a bit until I could muster some help to push it out of the lane. I watched the people watching me while I waited for the tilt tray.

And my first outing in the Series 1, it just so happened to stop at a major intersection. I thought no worries I'll pop the hazards on, nah no hazards. My induction to series ownership was pushing it out of the way across the intersection with lots of traffic looking on and probably wondering..........why

if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger or something so they say

So, as it turned out, the hoses are all fine and the fuel line is fine....the issue was with the air filter. Again!

I had written it off as a potential cause as I've been very careful in water crossings but I guess driving behind my mates has kicked up enough dust and at some point there's been enough rain in there to send it all into the air box. Should have checked. Feel foolish...

I think it's high time I got a filter at the top of the snorkel. Is a footy sock good enough? Can I get a filter for the Safari Snorkel that won't excessively restrict airflow?

Good idea. My (first) LR arrives tomorrow... I come to LR ownership fresh out of 15yrs of air-cooled VW ownership and know these feelings well... those heartstopping moments when the engine suddenly gives a chuff chuff and then dies... in the middle lane of the freeway

Each knock, jolt, creak, rattle accompanied by a shriek from the wife "what was that, and how much is it going to cost?"...
