So the PUMA goes back to the garage again tomorrow

Update:

Ian spoke to the garage and they have informed us that land rover are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. The fix is not due to arrive until July....
The fix apparently is a software upgrade.....which is what we suggested at the begining that it was a leak or possibly the ECU.

So fingers crossed we might be getting somewhere. I'm not upset I can't take the car in until July I'm very happy that we no longer have to take the car in for a pointless journey knowing that they are stabbing around in the dark.....

Here's hoping we solve this problem once and for all.....

Yes - good luck with it. :) I wonder if your effort will result in everyone getting the software "patch" update on their vehicles. :angel:

It's no doubt as simple as not letting the ECU advance the timing untill normal engine temp is reached. Pat

Quite possibly, but I suspect that as Lou & Ian's is an early Puma they probably have upgraded the engine map since 2007. Not having the ability to interrogate the map version I guess we won't know. I suspect the reason for the delay is that LR won't actually e-mail out the map file but rather have to issue it as a patch on CD to the dealer.

Be nice to think that it will be rolled out to everyone though.

I also think the fix is a software update away. Did you have any luck working out if the rattle happens at a consistent temperature?

No the delay I believe derek is they haven't made it yet:D
can't imagine Land rover would be mailing out CD's either not when they have there own entire server/database they can upload to for dealer access (GTR) remember there are parts of GTR that is not accessible to the public.

Good point.

Went to Austral the other day to drive a Puma to see how different it was. They didn't have one to test drive they said. I was a bit surprised.

They had quite a few 110s in the workshop so must be selling a few.
