Thread: Positive Votes for 2.2 Puma's

Love mine, buy one!@

Our PUMA hasn't missed a beat. The 3 years warranty period is almost up and not 1 warranty claim, only a few recalls early on.

We do all our own services and keep a close eye on things, eg I noticed the oil in the transfer being quite discoloured at 40,000kms so I change this every 20,000kms, probably over kill but inexpensive insurance.

The only complaint I brought up with the dealer were the bumps and bulges on the original General Grabber tyres and was told they are all like that. They are right, I have seem others like mine.

Dave,

Mine is not a 2.2 but a 2.4 Puma. It turned 3 years old on 20 April 2013 and except for a relay on the alarm system, the vehicle has performed faultless over the past 3 years. The 2.2 has had a number of refinements over the past few years (Land Rover R&D on the trot) and from all accounts are great cars.

Having owned a number of Defenders since 1997, this one is by a country mile the best one I've had.

Unfortunately the vast majority (which make up the good ones) get very little press...

Cheers,

Lou

I've only done 2800kms in my 2013 D90. The worst complaint I have is that the plastic covers on the rear seats rattle.

Of course more power would be better, but it could have 10000000000hp and more would still be better.....

I've had my puma 90 for four months and I love it! I would not swap this thing for anything else, it's comfortable, I can hear the radio clearly over the engine and hold a conversation without yelling, it doesn't leak water onto my foot when it rains, it keeps up with the flow of traffic easily - it's just brilliant!!! If you get one and love it half as much as I do mine you'll be extremely happy mate!

We've had our MY13 90 LE about 3 months, so maybe not long enough for a really thorough review but no complaints yet. The biggest issue we have is me and the missus flighting over who is going to drive , well that and getting used to the defender driving technique after 5 years of driving a Ford automatic softroader... clunk... clunk... clunk... but we're improving daily!

Never been a rev head but can honestly say I love this truck.

Outside of the seat belt bolt recall, it has been all good for my D90.
14,000km on the odo, with the monthly off road drives, no gripes at all. Odd as I had no amount of complaints with the D3..

Keep going!

Just wanted you all to know that I appreciate the feedback, oftern forum's can become just a collection of issues and problems which can appear depressing!

If people want to continue to give positive reports about these new Rovers, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will appreciate it....

Thanks again!
