It's easy to over think these things.

I've only had my puma 90 for six months but it is my daily drive and it hasn't missed a beat. Every day I like it better and better, I don't regret for a minute buying this brilliant toy!

I have fitted Ashcroft 's half shaft, drive flanges front and rear, along with their CV's in the front.

Back lash was reduced somewhat but not eliminated.

Reports from those who tested Ashcrofts HDP38 centre, report significant elimination of all backlash.

Looking forward to seeing what difference mine will make once its back on the road.

The Jeep and the defender.
Defender is always my priority.
Toyota very expensive though seem to be reliable.
Jeep recent ones has always been troubled by the engine problems of it's new V-6, and seems the after service is not good. Even in America parts are scarce.
I think I shall vote for the Def!

It was a joke,I have a 70 series at work and two defenders at home,the cruiser is a heap of ****,I would ask for my money back if I paid for it. Pat

Thanks again.

My TDCi had backlash that many would say was the P38 diff,I had LR tell me they were replacing the clutch as they were not happy with it,my vehicle now has zero driveline lash,I can come on and off the throttle with neary a jolt. Pat
