Potential Purchase

Any help / advice appreciated viewing a 2.4 Puma 010 circa 30k miles at end of week is there anything in particular to look out for or to check, it's one owner full history. It has had the bulkhead at the rear of the seats removed, is this easy to reinstall ?

Thanks in advance

90 or 110?

The most significant thing I'd bee looking for it clutch changes. If you search for "Puma Clutch Rattle" "Death rattle" that sort of thing you'll get a load of information, but if you get a noticeable rattle when you take your foot off the clutch in neutral you're looking at needing a new clutch. If you don't currently, you probably will do in the next 10-20k miles.

Thanks for the reply, it's a 90, let's hope it don't have any "Death Rattle"

no DPF on 2.4, check for clutch rattle, play in transmission, corrosion around windscreen, water ingress around the bulkhead and front doors, evidence of off road abuse, remap (does the EGR do the chukkas), corrosion to rear cross member, bumper and mud flap brackets, and all the usual dodgy noises from the engine, worth looking under the seats into the battery box and under drivers seat, if its been waded it will generally be evident in these areas, blowing exhaust around the turbo. generally search this site for all the other issues it might have. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

Viewed the 90, it's quite tidy, though no AC or heated seats, do you really need these two luxuries in a 90 HT, can heated seats/elements be retro fitted, if so anyone know a rough cost.

Thanks

Relatively easily. The main cost will be the seats. As luck would have it....I have a set of part leather XS ones sat in the loft!

Search goes on, the 010 HT 90 Puma is sold, in a waŷ I'm pleased as I really would like heated seats, AC as a bonus, and full bulkhead which it didn't have

shame as it was like new with private use.

That's a resounding, if unscientific, no then. My only issue is that I don't know when it's working (active cycle) and i would like to.
