2007 Puma.... help please!
Hi everyone,

I'm new here , I've arrived in search of much needed help! and, I hope to become a valued contributor!

I have a problem with my Defender, an 07 puma with 48k which I've owned from new.
I've noticed recently that as I wind her up to to about 2000 rpm she starts backing off and starts juddering and spluttering (but no smoke), it's mainly in high gears when under load at about 50mph, going up hill for example, you can power through it but it doesn't feel good. I have got the EGR blanked off but only because that was causing me an issue last year. Any thought where to look? also could it be clutch related? because:

I took her into the dealer fro a recall recently when I went to collect it LR told me my clutch was knackered as the springs were chattering. since then I've noticed a noise coming from the gearbox while it's ticking over, if I depress the clutch and let it out again the noise subsides. Any ideas what this could be, does chattering springs tally?
Thanks - I hope someone can shed some light on this
Cheers
Mike

Not sure I can help on your first problem, sorry and welcome to the forum!

My 2.4 was clattering on tickover as yours did, springs went as you say - clutch replaced and everything is so much better. (Pretty expensive though- main dealer mine cost Ł800 inc labour but indie may be cheaper?) Cheers, David

Thanks - I think I'll try an independent for the clutch!

I'be been baffled (literally as it happens!) about what was wrong with her, was it the blanked EGR or MAF throttle input or even dirty fuel, so literally 5 mins ago I thought I'd take it for a spin without the air filter and Eurika! problem solved off to LR for filters tomorrow!

Thanks again for taking the time to respond - very kind of you
regards
Mike

have you got a fault code reader? they're very handy and can at least localise the problem for you.

Pumas do seem to get very unhappy with a blocked/old fuel filter. one thing you can do it drain the filter of crap with the little screw plug on the bottom (plastic screw off bit) Cheers, David

Welcome

Yes, sounds like the clutch plate springs,,,
Have a 2008 90 that i have just replaced the clutch on,,( its second one by the look of it !) rattle at tickover, then goes with the clutch depressed,, mine were the small springs in the hub that were the main culprit !

The clutch unit has been modified ?? at least 3 times now California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Thanks

If the air filters that bad its time for a full service me thinks, and may be a dash of injector cleaner, check the wiring to the maf sensor as you have been in that area.
