My indicators sometimes don’t come on when I move the stalk down. Is this a problem with the indicator stalk itself?

When I used a Nanocom recently, it said the steering angle was -171 degrees (I assume it should say 0 degrees), even though the wheels were straight ahead. Is this the clock spring in the steering column out of alignment? Anyone know?

Should a Defender sit slightly tilted forward or should it sit level? My Defender has been made into a camper and if anything, sits a bit low at the back. I’ve been given a set of 1” rear spring spacers and was wondering if I should go to the trouble of fitting them. I have standard height HD...

Off-Track Family They bought another brand of 4x4 whilst waiting for a new gearbox to be delivered!

Seems like it was indeed the gearbox.

Not me btw. I was watching a Swiss family on YouTube and they’ve started a trans-America journey; however, this has been thwarted by a broken gearbox. I was watching previous videos and they’ve indicated that they drove their car “like they stole it”! It’s a TDCi 110, pop-up roof, lifted, big...

Thank you for the replies; in the end, I used a hot air gun on it, there a bit of a pop and the Landy rocked back a very small amount. It was at that moment that I wondered if it really was in gear…

I went on a greenlane yesterday which had several deep iced over puddles. I have just got in my Landy and tried to reverse it off the drive and it won’t move. It feels like the handbrake is still on; although it isn’t. The temperature was -3C last night, has water got into the handbrake drum and...

Now sorted. It was an issue with an auxiliary alarm system that is fitted to my Defender.

I did have a flat battery recently so this might be connected somehow.

Seems a bit too good to break it and sell it for parts…🤣

A quick look on Nanocom seems to indicate that the ECM is not being seen. Fault code U0100 - a quick look on various forums would indicate that this is not unique to many Puma owners. Err…I’m not too sure what to do next.

My 2011 Puma won’t start. I’ve not used it for a week and when I turn the key, the temperature gauge flicks to maximum. The battery is at 12.8v so it’s definitely not that. I’ll see if I can borrow a friend’s OBD reader.

On his YouTube video, he had his bed on the drivers side (RHD) and everything else on the LHS. It’s not really surprising it leans over.

A certain company in Wales produces rear spring spacer packs. I’ll get the chap to email them.
