Thought there was something wrong with the post (thats what drinknig does for ya)

Pretty useless motor anyway

Puts Useless Motorists Anywhere

Provided Unwanted Motoring Anoyances

Putters Under mild Acceleration

Put Underwater, Marine Anchor.

Paying Umbrage Might Assist.

Plays Up most anytime

Pushes up Maintenance Allowance

better?

I always thought they should have called it the Land Rover Torque Master engine. It does not sound as snazzy as the Puma engine but it would be a good description of it.
People describe it as a little "donk" but was a little "donk" not good enough for Joseph, Mary, and Jesus when they had to get out of Egypt?

Or as a Queenslander might describe it.

Pretty underpowered motor ayy??

Sir,

Re your question regarding the engine name for the current Land Rover Defender, it is, 'Performs Usually Most Admirably'

200tdi cracked heads 300 tdi vacum pump td5 electronics under water, oil pump nut gearbox problems s..t transfur boxes why do we drive this crap, because we love them and I would bet most would swop a 300tdi or td5 defer for my PUMA right now. By the way they go hard, not a pussey like a 300 or td5 (note small letters small performance)

betcha wrong I wouldnt swap your puma for any of the landies I drive or have driven. and I reckon I know a stack of people the same. If you were talking about giving it away........

Just ask someone like Ron if he'd swap his rangie for your deefer.

the reason why other engines have little letters for their abbreviations is because they dont need FORD **** speak marketing to sell themselves, calling the governor an anti stall device funniest thing Ive seen in years.

Yes the insulated suit is still on

Dave seriously there is having a joke and being an outright ****** IMHO.....we get it you don't like the PUMA you would rather drive a td5 that with 5 cylinders over 4 that you have to chip to make it as fast as one......

Now I have to say I'm personally getting a little sick and tired of you coming into the PUMA threads and being so dam right negative!! yes we all have a tease on various models I have done it myself. But seriously mate you take it to the extreme and I'm getting jack of it.

So knock it off or tone it down!! take your pick......

sok I did the same thing about the td5.... or didnt you read the reply In this very thread?

oh and OOC how many pumas have been in for major repair work for minor faults (since we're now going from tongue in cheek to outright attacks) arent you getting a new engine because they cant work out whats wrong with your fuel/management system?

Tell you what, lets put the total cost of the warranty work and downtime of your puma up against either of my landrovers, infact lets add the total cumulative down time of both my rovers (since fozzy didnt come with a warranty) chuck in the number of times either has gone to limp mode and I bet I still come out in front.

Actually Id rather have an isuzu 4bd1t over any of the electronic engines because its capable of making more power more reliabley for longer and on crappier fuel. (if you want to get really picky about the subject)
