Not gone, but according the the mechanic who has highlighted it, it needs replacing at somepoint. He reckons it too far gone to weld up. Not quite sure how to go about it as don't want a body off job. If I have to do that, I would just put a full galv chassis in. BIG BUCKS:confused:

That is the case for the TD5 one, if you see the link in my last post the Puma mid member has four uprights which are welded on. As far as I am aware they dont do a bolt in Puma mid crossmember.

This is the part that needs to go in, https://yrmit.co.uk/product/mid-crossmember-hdg-2007-onwards-lr-defender-110/ It won't let me add an image of the rust on the vehicle in a reply for some reason but not too bad, just been told it could do with repairing at some point.

Hi All, Just wondered if anyone could shed any light on this job. I need to replace mine and from what I am reading its a body off job. Has anyone got any different ways or has done this job before that could help with the process. Its a 2007 Puma Defender 110 XS 5dr. Thanks

I am looking to replace my genuine LR defender side steps to put them back on the 07 defender (PUMA). I wondered if anyone knows where I can get a replacement rubber piece that goes around the chequer plate?

I have just built out the back of my land rover (photo attached). I am going to mount a water tank in one of the boxes and want a flush mount water connection that doesn't cost the earth. Does anyone know of anything. The section underneath the sleeping platform will be used for storage in and...

Thanks for your reply. I am wanting to avoid drilling holes in the body - do you have any information on the thickness of the glass in the rear window?

Hi all, I am currently in the process of making my 110 into a camper and I am wanting to replace one of the rear quarter windows so I can put a water filler and run cables through it. Does anyone have any information on how to do this or what could be used? I was thinking a piece of hard plastic...

I am wanting to make a box in the back of the car that I can drop a leisure battery into to run some bits in the car and/ or some bits in the tents when camping. Has anyone ever made something similar which would allow them to drop a battery in and then hook it up and run everything that way. I...

Thank you for your reply on this, I did check these relays and just unplugging and plugging them back in seems to have this working again. I have not had chance to take the car out for a drive as fixing something else :rolleyes: but if this stops working again what would you suggest looking at...

No, definitley got one. Its an 07 xs Puma. The option is there, just having an issue with intermittent working. Will double check all the relays and fuses this weekend to see if I can see one mapped out for it :)

Having an issue with my windscreen heater. Sometimes it will work (mainly when the weather is 25+) but when it is cold the heater wont come on. I can press the button on the dash but the light on the button doesn't come on. Sometimes it will but more often it wont work at all. Do I have to do...

Now that the cold weather is approaching, what are everyone’s thoughts on waiting for the engine to warm up. I only have a relatively short commute of about 5 minutes but after the snow last year I don’t want to be stuck. Is it better to allow the engine to warm up and if so how long? I have a...

Thank you for your reply, do you know the name of the group?

I recently bought a Sankey style trailer but when towing on the defender 110 tow package, the hitch it too low. I understand the NATO hitch should be bolted to the rear crossmember but then there is fouling with the spare wheel (which I don’t want to have to remove each time I tow). Anyone got...
