Where do you keep your PUMA

**dullbird** · 11th May 2009, 04:50 PM

Leading on from my other post just out of curiosity would like to know where you keep your puma over night.

And I'm doing this for a reason guys, to try and narrow things down so those Who don't own a puma please don't vote.

no offence

You've seen our "under cover" storage

Ours doesn't get too cold but it does get incredibly wet and sunburnt

Should we be using SPF 30+ on the Puma

I won't mention that we are lucky if we get one night a year that the temperature actually plummets to below 15C for a brief period. Stuuu can jump in here...

interesting as I have asked Ian to log the temperatures at which the car does do it and doesn't do it via the scan gauge.....So far it does it from 10 degrees to 20 degrees might be worth just seeing if there is a pattern or not

In a cage, so as it doesn't go killing the wild life

In my dreams

You guys sort out the bugs and then I'll buy one!

Lou, I think this could well be worth doing. Also, if you can, log the engine and fuel temps too.

Are you looking for peculiar things that happen to your engine in cold/wet conditions?

Ours is kept in a garage, but in winter it can get down to -5 and -6 overnight, so even in the garage it will be around zero I'd guess.

That's probably our plan too....

a nice 2010/11 110 Double cab

Good luck getting it sorted DB.

Yes, I must say DB, wan't trying to sound like a smartarse. I've only driven one Puma and it was lovely. It just annoys me that Land Rover seem to have a track record of bugs in new models. (The Td5 had a bad reputation in early days too.)

yes we are only difference with a garage is it doesn't get wet/damp..Just gets cold. If you look at my other thread landrover had a lot of trouble getting the rattle, took them over a year to hear it. The difference! we keep the car outside they keep it inside...So I have decided to try and keep a log.

And was curious at how many people keep there puma's undercover...as up until now we were the only ones with this issue.
Now if you think of the uk it gets VERY cold and wet there much more so than here....whether or not its a link, a lot of them on defender 2 were complaining of rough running cars until they fitted the blank off on the egr. the down side was they had to drive around with engine warning lights on. I'm not saying I want to blank the EGR but I'm also not going to dismiss there problems as it could be a lead to something
