Defender 2.4 TDCI 2008. Just collected from garage having had a replacement gearbox mounting fitted (old one was broken) and immediately noticed the vehicle vibrating when stationary/ticking over. Phoned garage and they said nothing we have done would cause the vehicle to vibrate but bring it...

Hi, Defender 110 2008 A local garage is servicing my 110 which needs a complete exhaust. However they say the front pipe and catalytic converter is in good condition except for the lower flange. They are trying to save me money and are wondering whether there is an aftermarket part which...

Defender 2.4 TDCI 2008 100,000 miles. Driving home yesterday and after about 5 miles suffered a sudden loss of power but continued to drive and sounded OK. Struggling to go up the slightest incline without changing down to 3rd. Had a google last night and I guess it went into limp mode which I...

Brackets are welded to the axle. As far as I can determine these brackets are available as a weld on replacement for earlier Defenders/Series models but not for the Puma?. Mike

Exhaust hangers on the exhaust side are getting pretty corroded. For extra security just in case one of the hangers breaks I have strapped the exhaust up loosely with copper wire (heavy earth wire with plastic stripped off). Just wondering if this is OK for MOT?. Thanks Mike

The exhaust is blowing at the join between the front pipe and middle section. Inspection has revealed the flanges are pretty rusty and on their last legs. The pipes are OK so seems a pity to replace the whole system particularly considering the CAT is supplied as part as the front pipe which...

Original 10 year old exhaust has just been repaired to pass MOT but I am advised I will need a new exhaust pretty soon. Independent landy garage has made the point that the original has lasted 10 years so why not go for another genuine exhaust. I have had a look online and the situation seems...

Just been looking at new regs. Defender 110 Hard Top 2008 2.4 Puma 58 plate Have not changed headlight bulbs Reversing light not working but not an issue because of age of vehicle 2.4 Puma does not have DPF Does leak a bit of oil Do not think the new regs will affect me much due to age of...

Hi, I understand by reading various sites this is a common problem. My ignition key only turns a few degrees then jams as though the steering lock is engaged which it is not. I have been keeping it operational with regular greasing but it definitely needs replacing. I understand the whole...

Drivers side seat mounting frame very rusty. Just wondering where to go to buy replacements and are the drivers side/passenger side interchangeable? How complicated is it to replace these? Vehicle is Defender Hard Top 2008 Puma Thanks Mike

Last year I needed operations on both eyes and knew I would not be driving for +/- 6 months. I tried to read the owners manual but could not see to read!. I connected a solar charger to the battery hoping to keep it topped up as the vehicle would just be parked - big mistake! As soon as I had...

Does it have one and when does it need changing. 75,000 miles Thanks Mike

2008 Defender Puma. Serious problem getting key to turn, turns a few degrees then stops. Obviously knackered. Question is, is it simple to fit another of does it require a specialist?. I see they are for sale on ebay for about £50. Would very much appreciate some advice. I would rather have one...

Hi All, I am unable to drive for a few months. Vehicle is a 2008 Puma Defender with original battery which is in good condition. I understand the battery will drain if not used. I have a 20 watt solar panel with charge controller and wonder if I can connect this directly to the battery while...

My vehicle is a 110 hard top Defender 2008 if this is of any relevance. I am ordering an Electric Outboard motor, either 12 or 24 volt (not ordered yet) so will need to purchase 1 or 2 12v batteries and will need to charge them on an almost daily basis through the summer. The battery/ies will...

I have purchased some spray paint on ebay and have ordered the code on the metal plate under the bonnet. 821 which I understand to be Galway Green. I ordered 821 and that is what it says on the tin. Having primed I started on the colour (821). It soon became obvious the colour is wrong. Either...

Trailer lights have gone crazy. Lighting board OK. Socket on rear of vehicle full of water, rust and all sorts of unmentionables. I have managed to get the socket off and rescued most of the wiring. Lost about an inch. Options are to buy a new socket on ebay for about £5 or I am...
