Peter, it is straight forward but a little bit of care is needed.
Remove big door handle. Slowly go around the outside of door card pulling it gently forward. There are about 8 plastic fir trees on the outside of door card. When the outside is free there is a plastic fitting in middle of door card. Attached to the door is a plastic U shaped fitting. Middle of door card is a plastic mushroom fitting which slides down back of the U shaped fitting. Gently lift door card up about 10 mm and it pops free. Then slide door card over door lever.

A door trim removal tool (about £10 from Halfords) makes any door trim removal a doddle and stops you from pulling the retaining clips off the door trim and/or scratching paintwork. Just removed both my door ones replacing the door hinges, no more than 5 mins a piece.

If you mean this one don't bother.
It's way too weedy to lever the securing pegs out of the door. Draper do a cracking one though, like a normal screwdrive but with a forked end to get either side of any lugs. |

Yes it is that one and it worked a treat for me, fit for purpose and did exactly what I wanted it to! No I do not have any association with Halfrauds. The door card retaining rivets can be a b4ast4rd to get behind with the screwdriver type (which I also have) but the Halfrauds one whilst slim slides easily behind the card itself! Buy both!

First remove the four torx screws securing the door close bar then, you only need to pry the corner with a tool of your own choice, I used a flat head screwdriver. You then use your fingers to carefully pull away the panel and release the other clips.

Yep, there has been more than one thread on here about how to get the Puma card off, once the bar is off it's just a question of starting at one corner and gently easing the fixings away - I've rarely used anything more than fingers for the job. Removal of the plastic insert behind the interior handle is probably the fiddliest bit. Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.
