Thanks for the comments. I have a Nikon D40 with a Tamron 18-270mm VR lens

It took a while but we finally finished our trip report from our April-May trip to Namibia. It's a bit long but worth it I think :) Namibia 2011 M Furphy & N Sunassee.pdf or...

Some people say that you can run it on 2SO alone, since it's a light oil *shrug* I run my Puma and A3 2.0 TDi (pump duse) on 2SO at 1:200, if anything they run much better than other similar vehicles I've driven. Also, quality of diesel in SA is quite poor (50ppm), so if you have good diesel...

Firstly, what colour is the smoke, and it is at startup or all the time? Blue - oil in combustion (bad) White at startup - unburnt diesel, should stop soon (not a problem) White continuous - water in combustion (bad) Black - Injector issues or overfuelling (potentially bad) Rather put in...

Do you have a satellite tracking unit in your rangie? If you do, this could be the cause, we had this issue on our Audi, flat battery of the tracking unit was draining the main battery. Else, you may want to enlist the help of an auto electrician to help diagnose where the leak is coming from.

My man, I feel your pain. Since Day 1 of taking delivery of a new Puma last year, it has drifted left. Many arguments with N1 City & LRSA, it is one year later and the power steering box was found to be defective, but landy still drifting left. There is loud clunking from the gearbox when...

+1 and a tyre repair kit.

'cos the front axle steers, the rear axle doesn't :) Running different diameters on the front axle would cause undue stress on the front diff when turning, whereas on the rear diff this is to a lesser extent.

I'm also running 265/75 BFG AT and both my spares are the OEM General Grabber 235/86. It's fine to run this as a spare, AS LONG AS you only put it on the rear axle and not for long distances.

hopefully they have sorted it out :rolleyes:

You have obviously never bought a car in SA :D dealers will not do anything for you here :doh:

Hi guys, An update on the landy with the camping kit bolted on. We leave in 2 weeks' time for a 5500km trip around Namibia :) Also replaced the standard headlamps with Wipac units, LED lights inside, LED worklight on the back, BFG AT's, etc.

Yes. The engine is very quiet compared to the Td5, pulls better, cruises better. Only had mine for 1 month now, consumption is hovering around the 10l/100km mark, will prolly go down as the engine loosens up. Yep, the 6-speed is smooth, and the clutch is light. These days I find myself...

All cars are more expensive in SA than in the UK. You would not believe it, but most RHD BMW 3-series are made in SA, but the sticker price is more here than after they are shipped in the UK. The sticker price on a new Puma 90 is currently R352K, approx 30,000 pounds?

Maurice, that's probably because it sounds more like the contractor's Transit van than a bespoke LR engine :D I must admit, I do miss the clatter of that tractor-like Td5, but when driving long distances, I will NOT miss it. On the way from picking up the landy, SWAMBO & I commented on how...

They come standard on Defenders in SA :)

Hi all Picked up the new landy from LR N1 City last week. What a pleasure to drive - miles apart from the Td5, SWAMBO & I could actually have a normal conversation while doing 110kmh on the highway! Some pics: Not to mention that our salesperson is probably the prettiest LR salesperson...

thanks. Any idea on what chip we must look for?

Rather go for the facelift D2 - a lot of Td5 niggles were fixed during the facelift.

Hi all Friend of mine has a 2003 facelift Disco 2 with a factory fitted RADIO / CD Player. "Somebody" tried to get the radio going by inserting a invalid code resulting in the radio now being "locked". The LR dealer advised that the radio is now u/s and need to be repaced with a new unit at a...
