His nearest "Landrover dealership" or someone that has specialised in land rovers is approximately 123 nautical miles or 227 kilometres away (or two islands).....
Not much infrastructure or support on Tanna island for "new elctrickery Land rovers"......

Anyways, DRanged,
I think your closest technical support may be,

Pacific Autronics,
PO Box 1141, Father Walter, Lini Highway Port Villa
Santo Vanuatu
Phone: +678 27800

But what technical capacity or capability they may have for the newer Landrover Defenders, I do not know.

Regards,
Mike.

Thanks mike
Yes pacific Autronics actually imported the vehicle and allegedly do have a scan tool as such, but dealing with them is a whole other story.
Now this vehicle does not have a key fob etc, just a standard solid key as delivered, so not sure if it has an alarm etc Just reading the only book that came with it and no codes etc.
Vin is SALLDKHT8AA794560 if any one has access to something that may help.
Discounts on cheap holidays for anyone that solves the riddle !!!!!

Thanks Justin

Ok
This Puma has no alarm, no central locking and no ABS. The 2 white lensed lights on the l/h side of the dash don't seem to light up or do anything. Have checked all engine management fuses etc, so now I will have to bite the bullet and get the scan tool. We cant find the hand book so no idea if there is a sequence to starting it, although I would think there is.

Mmmmm! If it has an ECU, still think it need to be told that it can supply fuel to the injectors. Key possibly still only unlocks the steering and engages the starter. If all else fails email Solihul with VIN and proof of ownership, and ask them.

Cheers

Entered the EKA code with the key?

MMM strange one that. Handbook only refers to vehicles fitted with an alarm and central locking. Cannot find a code written in any of the books etc. Will try and get the scan tool from the main Island. What an absolutely **** box of an engine. I,d like to meet with the goose that gave the ok to fit these engines and put him on the correct path.. I pity all Puma owners who can look forward to a life of pain with these. Many thanks to all for helping. We are seriously considering ripping it out and shipping over a 4BD1 and LT95 to go in. The 130 makes a great tourist transporter.

Nah! not the engine. Ford Transit engine good for 1x10 sixth km at least, and relatively economical too. Transits just keep rolling out the door! Wouldn't if the mechanicals weren't any good.

As I said previously, get onto Solihull with the VIN and get it sorted. You need to talk to the organ grinder not the monkeys.
