Thread: Dust! Entering into Puma Cabin!

Welcome to Landrover ownership!!

Edit: I should try to say something helpfull, shouldn't I?

Clarke Rubber sells heaps of self-adhesive strips, all different thickness and firmness, I'm going to stick some of the thin soft stuff on top of the existing strip on mine, I'm sure that will make a huge difference.

The Puma's seals are very good on mine. We completed 25,000km around the country including sections of bulldust and the Bullman track twice without cleaning the inside of the Defender. It never got that bad. When we got home it was noticeably dusty on the black dash but no worse than my D1 or D2 and nothing anywhere close to what my Defender Tdi gets like.

I haven't read all the preceding posts but I'll assume its already been stated. Keep the A/C (or when down in the cold, the heater) on when needed, keep the system on fresh and NOT on recirc. The only times we put it on recirc was when we were driving through smoke blowing across the road from fires and then only for the short period needed.

Also check your door alignments, mine were really poor and periodically check your back door windows as, like every other model Defender, they will vibrate open up to about 1".

Ah you guys!!!
You are missing the point it's a land rover, it is designed to do this!
How else are you supossed to catch live bait whilst doing a river crossing ???

This might help you out.

Its for waterproofing, but it lists all the spots to took for.

When we were in the middle of the Khalahari Park clearing the dust off all the goods in the load bay, I took out all the rear trim panels and siliconed up the many holes in the panels open to the outside. Helped a lot and even cut out the exhaust smell when you open a front window.

FLagg,

That link is now goneski. Anyone have an idea where I can find something similar.

Just picked up an SVX and first trip on very dusty roads was choke-worthy.

Thx
