2012 110 puma

[oldyella 76]

Picked up the new puma today. Guess what got 35 k's from Geelong and the thing stopped. Rolled to a stand and waited 2 and a half hours for a tilt tray. Back to the dealers, in half an hour found a blown ECU fuse. What blew the fuse?? Good old pommy quality a pinched wire in a loom. Wasted 6 hours.
But on the positive side very happy, goes well.

I can beat that,my D4D hilux didn't make it out of the dealers yard before it stopped and it took a day to fix and stopped again two days later. Pat

Lindsay sorry to hear that, bloody amazing :eek:
I wonder if Land Rover are hanging out for 2015, to get away from hand made Defenders and into robots like the rest of their production.

Still I guess first hurdle of ownership over and done with. Hope that's as frustrating as it gets for you.

got any pics.

They really looked after me though. Waiting for it to get back there on the truck they "into it" as soon as it arrived. offered me another vehicle to drive home if they couldn't fix it in half an hour. The most frustrating part was sitting up the top of the hill above Annake for 2 and a half hours waiting. Very embarrasing. Just as well it didn't stop going up the hill where the road is narrow and there are double lines. But Troy you can still come and have a drive.

Sorry to hear!!
On the 'bright' side at least they fixed the cause and not just replaced the fuse hoping it won't happen again...

You think? I'm happy to own a Puma, maybe you're missing that :) ....have a look at Defender 2 forum and search Technical and the Puma sub forums if you really want to hear the good and the bad, as you say you do.....:)
