    2.2 puma 130 engine failure

    Anyone know of known issues with the 2.2l puma motors, my 130 with 75k on it got a vibration, dropped a hell of a lot of oil and went into limp home, got it to the dealer and the thought was a blown crank seal, got a phone call on Friday to say the motor was stuffed. 1 month out of warranty the dealers are doing their best to get LR to come to the party with a new motor, regardless of this, I think this is the last straw with land rovers as my preferred choice of work Utes.. 75k and already a new transfer case, axles, clutch and now possibly a motor isn't good enough when I rely on this vehicle to earn a quid.

    It's never nice when something like that happens. Was yours included in the oil pump recall ?

    Yep, oil pump has been done only 4k ago , serviced by LR every 12000k.. I have 2 ideas, the oil pump has failed or its over fuelled and filled the sump with diesel.
    The oil light has been the same 3-5 second delay in going out since before the oil pump recall.

    Most transfer faults are caused by going off road without the diff lock in. Usually covered under warranty. Problem is if diff is not locked even in mild conditions and one axle spins SNAP transfer is stuffed. You can get away with it for a while but eventually it will let go.
    When you say axles what was the problem? Axle flanges are a common and known problem and an easy fix.
    Re the engine problem it sounds unusual fingers crossed LR come to the party.

    With only 75000km & a FSH with LR, it's just a matter of LR & the dealer getting the paperwork side of the job sorted out before the motor replacement will be authorised.

    Bugger, I've seen a couple of 2.2s with blown crank seals (on the net) seems like it might be a qc issue so you should have a reasonably solid case with LR given the mileage and fsh.

    Best of luck. I'll miss seeing your trucks around Canberra if you go to a different marque!

    Disappointing to hear your bad run Summiitt.
    I had the rear crank seal replaced under warranty recently. It was leaking slowly. They said the old one looked like it was damaged during the engine assembly. Maybe its a recurring problem at the Ford engine plant.

    Geez man that sucks! It's so frustrating with these sort of things because the defender design (solid axles and coils) has so much promise but just gets let down by a weak engine and driveline combo.
    They talk about emissions regs but somehow Toyota can build a 4.5l v8 diesel?
    I dunno for your work I'd go with some sort of Isuzu truck if I could. But I'm guessing there's a reason you haven't already.
