and yes all diesels will do it to a degree.......but I will lay my life down a TD5 can not climb what the PUMA can climb in low first tickover.

In saying that do not be fooled people YOU CAN STALL THE PUMA IN LOW FIRST.....the trainer did it to show us but it takes A LOT to stall it!!

I have...

someones been looking at a duel cab and his SWMBO is not keen on modding big red....


so far the only thing thats going in its favor is its available in dual cab, and SWMBO likes the aircon.... lots and lots of stuff thats got me doing the "what were they thinking?" bit and I bet If I turn up to the dealer with the long list of "I want this fixed before it causes me a problem" its not going to get done or they wont sell it to me.

I ment in low first using the antistall on a steep climb so you can see what I'm talking about.

Anyway a reckon a dual cab would be nice.... I wish these models were available when we brought, makes me a bit made

oh Ive pushed the antistall, even put one on a climb that stalled it...

Ive walked big red up the same climb but I was reliant on throttle manipulation to do it...

when I work out how to add a hand throttle to big red .

and no fozzy couldnt climb that particular bit of ground either axletramping to a scary halt or stalled.

you can get hand throttles for the series vehicles cant you...will it not retro fit to a defender?

not when the throttles are fly by wire

Can't see that being too useful in a Defender though.....

I was wondering about that too. It's LAUNCH CONTROL

That would be one to try on someone elses Puma...
