It started off at $65k + onroad and now it is advertising a massive price drop - Now going at bargain basement price of $60k + onroad.. : ) 2013 Land Rover Defender 110 13MY It is an awesome truck, but in my opinion way overpriced..

Hell!, if he wants 60k for that you can buy mine for 50k, I have a lot more accessories on mine. I'll put the money I'm planning on spending on converting to auto towards a new auto Patrol.

Mines just clicked 12months old.

I'm no wimp and my legs are my strong point but I have to say the Puma clutch is bloody heavy, I didn't realise until I jumped in a manual navara and almost thrust my foot through the floor boards, I thought the darn thing was broken, it was like butter, then I realised how heavy the Puma clutch is.

Try sitting in stop start Syd traffic over an hr a day morn then afternoon, not a weekend trip to the city, do it constantly for a year and then tell me you love it. It's Hell I tell you.

I would love an auto, then those stupid idiots texting on there mobiles while in traffic won't **** me off as much, they stop, start then stop when they are supposed to go, leaves you behind them wondering if your Arthur or Martha. Oh the joys of an auto. Sit back relax cock one leg up and go with the flow.

Any other Puma owners agree it's a heavy clutch or am I going to look like a woos here. Lol.

Yeah yeah I'm already on my way to Bunnings to buy a can of Harden The "F" Up. (I'll say it before someone tells me) lol.

The puma clutch is heavy compared to a hilux

But I don't consider it heavy once you have driven it for a bit and who use the clutch in Sydney traffic anyway the best part of Sydney traffic is done in first with the anti stall

And yes I drove the puma for over a year in bumper to bumper traffic during the first lot of ****ty road works on the M5 let alone this second lot.
