Thread: 2.4L PUMA

The clutch is probably the big one.
LR changed the type of clutch plate about 3 times before they found one that worked (I've had 3 clutches in 80k kms, the last one was noticeably the best)as the bonded springs kept developing loud rattles and even falling out of the wear plate.
Other than that as it's the first year of the tdci, I'd be checking to see if LR has service notices out for that vin number, there must have been a few recalls for various things Considering its a 2007 tdci.

My main concern is that as it has only done 15,500kms...any issues that might occur (like transfer case, clutch etc) wont have surfaced by now? A mate of mine had the same build and he had some major issues at about 50,000kms.

I have asked the seller for a list of warranty work done by LR.

Our 2009 Puma had only done 63,000 kms when we bought it a year ago and the service record says the clutch had been replaced. Other than that, it was mechanically original. The only issue so far is that the rear fuel filter had not been replaced and recently failed.
Yours would obviously be out of warranty, so I recommend you get a thorough service by an LR expert or dealer.
