I bought a trailer and then discovered I can't commercially tow without a tachometer

I already have a TD5 130 so I know all about the turning circle

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Why did you keep the TD5 130 & not the Puma 110 as you had a 130 already? Is there something better about TD5s? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy.

A 130 has proven to be the ideal vehicle for my needs, capable of carrying 5 people and a generous load.

The TD5 130 I have is ideal EXCEPT it has the TD5 dash and as I sell replacement leather covered dash parts for Puma's it is not the ideal 'show' vehicle.

By selling the Puma 110 (and at some point the TD5 130) and replacing the pair with the Puma 130, I have ended up with my ideal vehicle and saved money in 2 x insurance, 2 x tax, 2 x servicing etc and will have money in the bank !
