Defender Puma at high altitudes and low temperatures - Tips
Hi there!

I'm preparing my several times vacation trip to the Atacama desert and the Altiplano.
In some occasions the conditions there can be quite hard (-10°C and over 4,000 mt)

As some people have experience here with low temperatures can you give me some tips/advices in special if I leave the car during the nigth at this temperatures?

Thanks Eduardo

-10°C really isn't that cold. Large parts of the UK get that after all! As long as the fuel is the correct spec and the antifreeze mix is right you'll be fine.

There was an engine breather modification for Tdci models I think if you're going somewhere cold but I think that's more for -30°C sort of temperatures.
