Is this the clutch going or standard for a landrover clutch? If it is the clutch going this should be covered by warranty right? Apart from that the vehicle was very tidy.

Thanks Benny II, I rang Trigg motors up too and discussed the issue. I think I'll bring it up for them to look at in the next service. Cheers

Thought I would throw out a quick update and a couple of photos from the weekend. To add to the list already of Mantec RAI & winch bar, wingtop chequer plate, rock sliders and kaymar swing away. I have put in some HD Ashcroft CVs, flanges, front and rear half shaft a couple of months ago. Which beside some initial installation buffoonery on my behalf have been performing excellently. Recently I have upgraded also upgrade my BAS remap to include the EGR option (which I am also very happy with). A few more projects to do but overall very happy with with the puma despite a couple of little niggles.
