If its not normal, what is likely too be the fault?

Totally normal. The system tests itself when started, then goes out.
There is only a problem if the light doesn't go out, which may be caused by a faulty sensor. If the light doesn't come on then either the vehicle doesn't have TC or there is a fault.

Same for the Puma. All normal. All rattles and bangs and things abnormal in normal vehicles are also normal....
I trust this helps him make a decision to remain sane or buy a Defender.
