    Exclamation Further PUMA check...

    Following on from my thread regarding the Brake Master Cylinder rub - I crawled around under Grover prior to it going into the dealers today to make sure there were no other issues.

    I found the bottom intercooler hose is rubbing on the steering column. LR are fixing this issue for me too.

    The hose rubbing points would be my only issue so far with mine. I was crawling around under the Puma installing the winch power leads on the weekend and this hose isn't an issue however there are a number up the top of the engine on the passenger's side that need attention. Also I'm amazed at the amount of anti-abrasion sleeves used.

    The rubbing is caused by the nuts that are on the column adjacent to the hose. You need to full lock the steering wheel to rub the hose. Therefore I reckon this will be a problem that will eventuate for everyone over time. I'll post up some pics of LR Aust's fix when I get the vehicle back - including the brake master cylinder fix.
