    Something is NQR ( not quite right) Artical states all purchase between 2008 & 2009. PUMA's pictured but some of the dash and engine pictures are of TD5's.

    I reckon what doesn't look quite right is Mark0006 giving links to the same website that his brother tom0006 (who has now been deleted) used to.

    The website also details under "Technical summary" that the newer "Puma" models have; "front and rear beam axles with parabolic suspension".

    I am interested in what they mean by that statement?

    Parabolic suspension means leaf springs not coil springs, and as far as I know every single Defender ever made was front and rear beam axles:

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_spring"]Leaf spring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

    [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_axle"]Beam axle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

    When did the Defender switch from leaf to coil suspension?

    Ahh, umm, thanks FeatherWeightDriver for the info, suspension design and construction is of a large interest to me, however I was pointing out in my post that they stuffed up in the technical details by posting that about the suspension.....
    I guess I was a little bored when I posted my post and have been waiting to see who would reply and what their reply was.....
    Regards,
    Mike.

    I thought that may have been the case, but wasn't sure...
