What is a "Puma" Defender?

[Danjeffery]

I was speaking to a very good Land Rover defender mechanic some time ago. And they fair got up me after asking about getting my Puma defender serviced...
They were saying only a 2.4 is actually a Puma and the 2.2 isn't?
i know they're both called a Puma by everyone but is there a reason they would have said the 2.4 is only a Puma?
I'm only trying to get some of the right info, might have to ring the mechanic again tomorrow...

Your mechanic is incorrect

Ford 2.0 L, 2.2 L, and 2.4 L engines are called ZSD. They are produced at the company's Dagenham plant in east London.

See here: Ford Duratorq engine - Wikipedia


Having said that; you don’t hear people running around calling their TD5 a Storm

I believe from 2007 on,when the model changed, they were all 'Puma'

Engines,and a few other things changed over the model run,but they were still a Puma.

Or Tdi's Gemini's.....

Which is why I'm a dick and only call later Deefer's Tdci's.

ZSD-422 and ZSD-424 are the same family of engines...

No Cougars

Hmm, I need to consult my old apprentice Scott from my last place of work, he knows all about cougars....
