Is the anti-stall fitted to all Puma's irrespective of whether they have TC/ABS fitted?
For those who dislike modern day Land Rovers with all the high tec. hardware and wish for the return to the simplicity of older models, it is quite possible to have the old vehicle of your choice rebuilt to as new specification.So if you are that dead set against the newest incarnation - and quite probably the last as we know it - you do have a choice. Personally I am very happy with the new incarnation. It shares garden space with the series 111 and the 200 tdi.
just buy a 130
Short of remapping the ecu to disable the anti-stall and idle jack features it would be a trial and error thing to figure out. To disable the idle jack you could try disconnecting the low range sensor and/or the speed sensor on the Transfer Box.Quote:

From what I gather the TC/ABS system is seperate to the anti-stall/idle-jack functions. As for your second point you are dead right! Thats the beauty of the defender, it is timeless and eaisly modified. Like you said if you don't like the new one rebuild an other one with your choice of engine/gearbox/what ever else you want.Quote:

But for me the good features of the Puma far out way the good features of my old County.

theres nothing you can do to disable antistall. Its been around since the steam engine and has another name, Its called a Governor. with the exception of the steam engine if the engine is running then its "Anti-stall" is enabled..
So he wants to remove the governor then.......
it'd make getting it to idle or maintain speed a very interesting event.
I think he wants to disable the hi-idle function.
I'd say so. It can be a bit un-nerving, and some cars seem to be more aggressive with the idle jack than others. My 110 isn't too bad and I have grown used to it.Quote:
