Thank you for the replies, there is no engine light, I will get looking at the pipes. Thank you.

Hi all, I have had the same worrying symptoms a couple times now. 2011, 2.4 TDCI Puma. 2nd gear, 20 mph, foot to the floor, RPM tops out at 2000rpm and no pull at all, vehicle maintains speed but that's about it. I believe this is about the RPM that the turbo kicks in so thought this may be...

Thanks for the reply! What do you mean when you say 'don't forget the handbrake cable' - what should I check with it? I have noticed the handbrake feels like there is less tension in it, but I could be imagining it.

Ok, so, I've crawled under the car and managed to get some pictures of what I believe are the earth points (as kindly pointed out to me) There is the LH Earth from the transfer box, and I think both ends of the earth strap under the pedals to the rear of the front wheel. They all look attached...

Hello everybody, New to the forum, and two years into owning my first Landrover. Always having wanted to own one, I took the plunge in 2018 after taking a job where I wouldn't be relying on my vehicle to commute. I quit that job 6 months later and now drive it to work. 2011, 2.4L Puma 90 with...

I really appreciate all of these replies, I'm not much of a mechanic yet so I'm learning as I go with this vehicle. We did the final long drive yesterday - it was around the 90 minute mark at an average of 60mph on the motorway the metal started to feel very hot. Does this tally with the idea...

Thank you. Is there anywhere I can find schematics? I have searched several times but turned up nothing helpful.

Thanks for your reply - where in the vehicle can I find them?

I had a new clutch kit installed in my 2011 2.4 Puma around a fortnight ago. During the first couple of long drives since then we have noticed a lot of heat being created around the centre console and under the cubby box - some of the metal work gets too hot to touch and I had a shock when I...

Thank you for your replies guys. I’ll see what I can hold of!

Hi, I have a Defender 90 with an Exmoor Trim soft top. I want to disassemble the whole thing, including metal frame. Between the metal parts around the cab there is a black sealant for waterproofing, which I will need to replace once I put the roof back together. Does anyone know what kind...
