Thread: What did you do to your Puma today?

The rest of the driving position isn’t a problem.

Long legs, like a stork.

Anybody got any ideas for repair.
2012 Defender 110 2.2L 106000km.

Driving along last Monday and engine stumbled and check engine light came on.
#2 cylinder misfire.
Removed injector and had tested, found u/s at idle only.
Remove filler cap when running lots of blow bye.
Suspect hole in #2 piston.
Towed it home and in the shed till I can come up with a plan.
Going to ring Landrover and get service history today.
Serviced by mechanic at home, used Penrite oil since forever.
Trying to contact other members that have had same problem to show a precedence.

The cargo rail was from ebay - only place i found it already anodised black. Installed it with 1/4" CSK structural rivets and sika.

Maxtrax pins were from the roofrack shop.

I made the brackets from 2.5mm alum sheet with a rattle-can paint job.

The t-bolts for the cargo track were a PITA to find, and came from the UK. I have 4 spares though.

Added another organiser to the back door window. It’s removable using a kedar strip and a couple of stay-puts.
Also installed a fire-stryker extinguisher stick next to the drivers seat.

Bad news. I had an engine overheating issue a few years ago at about the same milage. It's a 2.4 puma, cracks found on the 4th cylinder bore. End up replacing the engine with a new transit 2.4. if you are in Melbourne, I can recommend transit automotive in Clayton, they sold me a new engine and installed it for me with a reasonable price.

Fitted a couple of gull windows.

The factory windows are certainly glued in very well,bloody hard to get out.

Where can one purchase a Fire Stryker? I've been looking for these but am located overseas. Nice idea with what you did, I think I'll do this as well.

There’s a French seller on eBay.
