Crikey.
Thanks heaps.
Prado owner next door didn't believe me.
I will run off a copy and give it to him.

Olbod,the TDCi cops a lot of flack by the knockers,you know,the diffs are weak and the motors no good,once you've driven one and learned how they work they are a very impressive little jigger. Pat

Yes, I am a fan and I still think the Defender is the best looking 4x4 ever built.
I would buy one without a doubt if only they came with an auto and cruise control. Before Me Disco I owned five earlier manual Landy's starting in 1962.
I loved them all.
They can be modified and built to suit over time but I dont think I have enough time left.
Thinkin about a Sport.

This is brilliant - I had no idea my Puma could do this - I'm gonna test it out today! Thanks for posting this

These types of technique's have been posted on here before but like I've posted above they attract the knockers who discredit them. Pat

Try stalling out a PUMA in Low first with your brake pedal....

Good example is the people that keep knocking the traction control,want to take out the fuse to stop it working,particularly in soft sand.Some D2 owners want to do this as well.

My son's had an intermittent fault with a TC wheel sensor on Fraser island where there was a lot of very soft sand.
This disables the TC and ABS.

The performance of the vehicle with the TC operational in soft sand was way better than with it disabled.In fact with the TC operational,the Puma has as good ability as his mates Pootrol with dual lockers,in most,if not all, situations.
