I used 3/4 of a tank
It pull like a train extremely rampant
I can honestly say its the fasted defender I've been in and it doesn't seem to notice its hauling 35inch Simex tyres

I will give more detail but I'm trying to spend sometime with the other half Whistle

Well now I have some time I will enlighten you
It's a pleasure to drive it just has so much torque through all the gears you can sit doing 40 in 6th and pull effortlessly to 90+ without changing down Wink
Going through the gears you don't need to use 1st but a lot of people don't use 1st in there 2.4s but when you want to get 35s rolling you need all you can so I always use to use first but now second with ease and she still wheel spins in 3/4th

You can change gear as low as 1300-1500 rpm and it still pulls

No changing down through the gears whilst going up hills it just Carrys on pulling and speeding up Smile

For towing I can imagine this being brilliant

you could do with an extra gear to make 7th as I went for it a few times on the way home Smile
It's just hard getting used to going into round abouts in 3rd and 4th

I'm over the moon with it really pleased big thank you to Pete
One down side I've got to change he idler pulleys as there mucking some noise but then thinking about it I should have put new on in the first place Sad

Would changing to a Disco transfer case be any good?
Maybe early days, but how does the MPG compare the previous engine?

if only I had the cash...Maybe if I win the lotto tonight. Smile

Sounds an excellent conversion and hopefully a few more will pop up over time. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Puma defenders already have 1.2 transfer boxes you could change it to a 1.0 transfer box but I think you would looses lot of it potential

It's hard to say about the fuel as I'm running the engine in and it's gotmy 35 inch tyres on but I don't think it's any worse

Thumbs Up

I don't think there's a wrong or right way but basically I'm running at 50 then 60 then 70 the down to 60/50 again so the engine is constantly at different revs Wink
