Welcome to my world!
Really mate I am sorry to here the new engine was not the end of your problems. I know what you are going through, but at least your dealers are trying to fix stuff. I hope once this is fixed it will be fine.

Its a pity to hear how many troubles can generate a car
I hope that LR and the dealers can solve that in a proper manner. Mine, Thanks to God, has been quiet during lasts months. Im waiting the 40.000 km checking to solve some minor problems. Regards.

I hope that LR and the dealers can solve that in a proper manner. No complaint with the dealers they have been very good about trying to sort it out. They will usually take the car within 1-2 days when I call with a problem. N. |

Welcome to the forum - I hear you loud and clear - there is nothing else on the market that comes close to the flexibility of a defender ! Fuel leak on mine was a faulty fuel switch so not a major problem , mind you its been changed twice !!! I have a 97 300tdI , considering selling the puma and putting the money towards having the tdi totally re built ! |

Sorry to hear about your problems Nidge.I was discussing what work to get done on my 1992 200Tdi when I ended up ordering one of them new Pumas!(It was about 10 days before the road tax was set to go up etc.)Anyway just over 7,000 kms on the Puma since the end of July and all is well.Had an oil and filter change about 5,000 kms.Had to have two door stays adjusted.Had to tighten the pipe exiting the power steering reservoir as it emptied itself in my yard.I extended the breather on the diesel tank too.Lovely to drive and very comfortable.Makes the 200tdi sound very rough.
I did get the 200tdi done up-new cross member,doors respray etc.Still runs like a dream-if a noisy one!The Puma might be getting you down but you have a three year warranty with it.No doubt it's annoying but your dealer seems good enough.Should settle down. |

Humm,
Was too nice to be true. 3 month without visit to the dealers... My Defender start to leak oil from the transfer case in the rear ouput housing. On Tuesday will be again with the dealers for this repair and also to fix some minor details. 
Not so big like yours but are time consuming

Hi jst
Yes it was a D3 i wished some of thease sales men actural came out and worked with us. Heard a story that will make you laugh this sales man told this farmer that a discovery will do what a 110 does he told the sales man no way but he insisted so he took one on demo put 3 live pigs in the back when he took it back they were up in arms TOLD YOU SO said the farmer |

that made me chuckle, but if it was a D3 i hate to disagree in that its ground clearence is better than a Defender, not having beam axles it is far better off. but then stock tyres on aD3 are no where near as good as those on a Def in the rough stuff, maybe that was the issue? Cheers
