Thread: here lies all my 2013 puma questions

A 'tune' for the 2.2 has only JUST become available see here Defender2 - View topic - Defender 2.2TDCi Remap Tuning Ready!
some pretty impressive figures. Yes I am led to believe your warranty will be void for anything driveline related.

Yes thats what I was looking at... 150hp/440nm tq seems to be pretty good.

Again thanks for the input. Learn something new everyday! hopefully picking it up by friday at this stage. Will report back with you guys then.


Also, I read increasing steering angles make it worse for the boots? if so I'll just learn to suck it up and adjust! been a fan for a long time. Test drove the 110 last weekend and was instantly sold!

and just a bit more info, it'll be a sept 2012 build orkney gray puma. 7 seater. dual finish wheels and mtr tyres.. tint, interior and exterior protectant applied. cant wait. lol

Another thing is I've got a Tdi and a TDCi and I needed seat rails from Mulgo for the TDCi.My MTR's were shredded after 40K and IMHO are crap,you'll find they are very noisy so drop the pressures to 36 front 34 rear unloaded and that will help.Personally I would ask for them to be swapped for the Continentals before delivery.

Had no issues so far, only one blown fuse which I suspect happened when we got the towbar fitted. Speaking of which follow the advice in the tow bar thread here and you'll save $$$ + get a genuine LR part.

Also interested in any advice on when to do that first service, as a MY13 the dealer (and log book) say 12months or 20k but I would probably go sooner.

I did mine at 6K. Pat

Something unusual that might be worth checking - I didn't notice that my front passenger seat did not slide all the way back on the rail due to fouling the seat belt clip bracket. It was a simple fix but given it was a seat belt I didn't want to go fiddling around too much. Thought it was pretty ordinary that no one between England and me picked it up, but then I didn't notice for a few days either....

Also check the little plastic grill where the air intake is on the front right guard. Mine fell off after a few weeks. It's an amazing thing - all the other plastic guards are screwed in and the tubework and gasket under the grill are fixed pretty securely but the only thing holding the grill in is 5 or 6 piddly little plastic pins. I'm sure it will break and fall off again - they can keep replacing it until it's out of warranty and then I'll fix it properly.


My dealer's happy to do 10K servicing regardless of what the book says. There seems to be a lot of variation on this.

First time defender for me & I'd have to agree with the others - every drive's a joy (and you'll get used to the turning circle).

Cheers,

Gav

Hi congradulations on your new Defender 110 ,usually we run the engine in try not to ( break the engine in ).good luck jimr1 ..

pfffffffffft! yes I mean run the engine in hahahahah


I'll have to double check the tyres actually. Not 100% sure if MTR or conti's. lol all i really remember is its coming with the dual finish wheels.

Couple of points. The 2.2 doesn't need as 10k oil changes and it a dpf engine not an egr engine. The the oil will remain clean for a longer time as the crap is not being dumped back in to the oil. You are plan are just wasting money and oil.

You can not turn the dpf off and if you do you could be fined up to one millo dollars so don't do it.

I have one it's 6 weeks old and love it to death.
