Litch Member Since: 10 Mar 2013 Location: Oxfordshire Posts: 765	I have had non-return valves on my set-up for many years and never had a problem with frozen washers. I think the answer is to make sure you use a good quality fluid at the correct strength and if this means using it almost neat when it is -15degrees then so be it. ONE LIFE, GET IT!

Have had a quick peek behind radio but couldn't spot much immediately... Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8.

In theory the only difference with the puma is how to take tha dash apart, but until someone takes photos of a puma dash apart to do this we're in the dark. I'm really glad I did this mod now that we're starting to see salt & grit used on the roads again, even had a hard frost or two to contend with as well. Mark S CONVOY for HEROES www.facebook.com/convoy4heroes www.lothian4x4response.org ------ Td5 90 Thread in 'My Defender' Forum

I have done this on a couple of puma's.... It is easy to get the dash out and then process of fitting the twin jets is just the same as a TD5.

Removing the dash on the Puma is actually easier than more earlier models - at least earlier recent models (Series I, II, and IIA were easiest of course). It is time consuming and there are many connectors to remove and refit, but at least you can assemble it properly afterwards. It is also interesting what you find that's been dropped down inside! Plus you can add armour round the 10AS unit and wiring.

Anyone got step-by-step for doing this with a puma yet? Mark S CONVOY for HEROES www.facebook.com/convoy4heroes www.lothian4x4response.org ------ Td5 90 Thread in 'My Defender' Forum
