Trying to remove the head off the 2.4 tdci puma, but have stumbled where it comes to the injectors - the top part comes out but the bottom stays in the head. I was looking at something like the tools in the link below to remove them - can anyone give any advice on what tool(s) I should be...

Could be a brake pad sticking - mines doing it at the moment (amongst a whole load of other bangs and rattles!!) I'm compelled to give it lots of attention though! Try getting it up to speed then when the squeak starts feather the brake or try getting up to speed and knocking it into neutral...

Had friend who is a mechanic check it over last night, albeit the check didn't go as far as a compression test but all signs pointed towards a fault within the engine itself putting the head gasket in question. He did say the engine wouldn't run as well as it was doing if there was any issue...

Cheers Engineer! Could this be related to the oil leaking around the injectors on the head? Thanks

'07 puma 2.4tdci I've had a good search on here but had no avail - took the plastic cap off the top of the engine and noticed fresh oil around the first two injectors closest to me while at the front of the vehicle. Can anyone tell me will this be due to failed injector seals and, if they...

I'm currently having issues with fluctuating heat through the heaters - there is an air lock in the system, when opening the expansion tank the fluid shoots back up. Also, I had the same overheating problem not too long ago when travelling at 75mph - coolant was low, once topped up it was ok...

Reading a few threads I'm starting to associate a slight rumble around 35-45mph with a worn propshaft. Looking online I've found one for around £235 + VAT. Bearing in mind the noise is still slightly similar to that of a worn UJ, and the slightest of rumbles at the above speeds, can anyone...

All UJ's changed. The noise still persists!! Albeit a little quieter, bit stumped. More investigating...

Cheers all, Matt thanks for the advice and the offer - sadly I'm a bit too far away but appreciate your kind offer! I purchased a set of four from a place in Liverpool who have been brilliant, although I'm under the impression now that the front UJ's are different from the rear, and all I...

Thanks Retroanaconda, I've had a crawl around underneath and it appears to be the rear UJ that has the movement in it. Problem is, I can't find the right part to buy online - all I can find is UJ's for a 1982-86 model - the compatability tool says they wont fit the 2007 model but they all look...

Thanks Grimmer will give them a look! Went to call it a car - bit new to this 4x4 malarkey - Landy it is!! :D Thanks again.

Cheers all, So is there a UJ either end of the driveshaft? Found these earlier - but can't find any listed for a 2007 model - will those in the link fit? I've a good friend who has a set of ramps who's a mechanic, but is this a DIY job if handy enough on the tools? I.e laying under the truck...

Thanks for the quick replies! UJ stand for universal joints? Any idea what sort of price I'm looking at to purchase the parts alone?

Evening All, As I drive along, under accelleration in every gear I can hear a knocking noise from the drive shaft area - sounds like it's coming from right under the gear stick. While the defender is parked with the hand brake on, I can push the car backwards from the front and I can hear...

Afternoon all, Recently bought an 07 plate 110 with the 2.4 puma engine in. Problem with it at the moment is no heaters coming on, and the anti-freeze in the expansion tank after running will be very low - open the top and the liquid 'pops' back up to the top. Any ideas why this could be...
