    Thinking of a Puma.

    Well dispite all the potential for puma-problems as I have read in various threads, I am off to visit Mr Land Rover this week and talk about the soon to be released 110 Crew Cab. The 90 has been great but just a little too little, now that my family has grown up.. Lease is up within 12 months - so the way Land Rover work, I may as well order it now.

    I have test driven a 110 puma and was impressed with the improved driveability over the td5. Yes they have had issues, but from memory the td5 also suffered in its first few years. Hopefully the systemic problems will have been identified now that the Puma is in its third year.

    So I'll see what pittance I am offered on the 2005 90 as a trade in and then make some decisions from there. (Stand by for Marketplace Alerts)

    Yes I have been known for my sillyness
    The 90 has become my "town car" - I would love to keep it but Missus Sleepy refuses to drive a manual - So she has the Disco.

    It is a fantastic 4WD and in my opinion more driveable and much more confortable too!

    I am careful not to turn this into a "90 for sale" thread, lest I upset the mods. If it comes up for sale I'll stick it in the Markets section.

    But here's just one.


    <<< pic removed by sleepy - this really was a discussion about Puma 110 Crew Cabs. I risk upsetting the balance of the universe if I let it devolve into "90 for sale" thread - photos in my Gallery >>>
