Well this is very encouraging, looking at this thread, there are no real issues being report for the Puma 2.2. Me being a poor Disco 2 V8 owner that is currently replacing the head gaskets, again...
Looking over the fence at 2.2 Defenders...

SubscriberDefinitely the 2.2l TDCi is a keeper. You just have to realize that though it looks like all its predessors to a greater or lesser degree. It's a much more modern vehicle. Even those "no brainer" simple procedures like oil or battery changes need a pre-read of the manual.

Quite simple really
And if you want warranty servicing use a qualified mechanic and make sure he understands the modern requirements.
If you don't - then service it yourself. Using the correct fluids and the correct procedures.
Too easy...

My only gripe is the key.Why do I have a full size key with a separate fob for central locking? Is there a reason LR don't supply Defenders with a nice fold-up all-in-one key like the Discos? Are they available.I've seen them in the UK,at TMD, all in one,but not folding.Is it just me?

i reckon it's so you can remove the button thingy and leave it in the car , that way you can get the key wet.
You can buy the key and button as 1 unit, I've seen it when I was web trawling the other day

SubscriberOn pages 6&7 of my Owners Handbook is described the process to use your EKA code (you know your EKA code, right?) to gain access to the vehicle and deactivate the immobilizer manually if ever needed:My only gripe is the key.Why do I have a full size key with a separate fob for central locking?

"Step1. Remove the remote control from the key ring and keep it well away from the starter switch. "
Hard to do with an all in one unit.

You need your EKA code which they dont give you. I have been in touch with Land Rover and I am hoping I can get mine but apparently now to get the code is a nightmare. Why is it not supplied when you get the car, the instructions to use the code are in the manual!!? It is your car you really should be supplied with all the info to start the darn thing when you need to. I was down in Brisbane and took my keys out my pocket 1,700 odd km from home and there was only my key not my fobI honestly think my heart missed a beat. I retraced my steps and found my fob so all was good, but I need my EKA code.
