Has anybody with a Puma purchased this book (Land Rover Defender Modifying manual by Lindsay Porter) I come across it on the web and thought it looked very interesting, but am not sure how relevant it will be to the PUMA. I have a 2015 130 , It my 1st Defender so I'm still getting to know my way around all the mechanical ins and outs.
In my past I've been a very passionate Kombi owner.

I'm slowly adding items that I consider to make Molly my dream machine. one of the big ticket items on keen to add in the next couple of weeks is front and rear differential lockers. I would really love to do the work myself as I get a lot of enjoyment working on Molly but I'm a little nervous as I haven't done too much work with diffs in the past, rebuilt a few VW engines though.Just looking for little guidance and tips

That publication has been around for a while. However, I note a '12 publication date, so maybe there's been a reprint.
The only thing I've heard about it, is that it was "Pre Puma", so didn't cover this era, but some say that this doesn't matter, "because a lot of the earlier modifications are common to Puma".
I didn't buy the book.

This forum would contain better info I would think.
