Very common problem. Strip the door down a lube everything up, this normally stops the problem. There is also a problem of something in the door catching, cant remember what exactly as i havent had to do it myself but im sure somebody on here knows.

Oh no!! Please don't say this is still an ongoing problem in Pumas too!! I've just endured years of similar behaviour from my TD5 and I have got a new UXS on order- hoping to leave behind such issues. The colour has drained from my face....

Its a Land Rover, so dont expect the problems to be ironed out for another 60 years or so

My last Puma was fine but I had the same thing on he same door on my new one before Xmas. Removed the door card, checked and lubricated everything, door card back on and it has been fine since. Steve.

Make sure the locking button is running smoothly and that the guide it runs in isn't bunged up with dust or badly adjusted, there are two securing screws but the holes are slotted which give you a bit of adjustment. Steve.

If you fit a Webasto heater (or similar) then you should avoid these issues. Very good for the engine too and pretty much essential up North here. No need to scrape any windows in the morning either!

I used exactly that excuse to persuade my missus that a Webasto would be a good investment on our TD5. Alas, the door problem persisted but, you're right, great to drive a TD5 from first off running smoothly with a warm cabin too.  |

hi
ive just joined this forum weve owned our puma since march 2010 and we are having a real problem with our central locking on frosty mornings,we took it to our local dealer late last year when the frosts started and explained exactly what was happening ie that when unlocking the vehicle on a frosty morning the central locking would constantly lock and unlock in quick succesion,they said theyve checked it over and cant see a problem (well they wouldnt of because it wasnt frosty)however if it continued to occur the technician said to ring up and tell the dealer to order a new central locking module which i did a week last monday 17th january they rang on tuesday of this week to book me in on wednesday 26th to fit it ,iwent there and waited, 1 1/2 hours later they called me over to the desk to say they cant find a problem with the central locking so havent done anything to it ,i was livid with them i explained its my wifes car and that it keeps letting her down leaving her locked out of the vehicle to which they said ring land rover assist ,so im now still stuck with this problem and i just dont know what to do im very concerned for my wife as she could be stranded somewhere not able to get in the vehicle has anybody had this problem and had the dealer fix it if so any details would be great please, when this is happening on a work day and we cant get in she is using my 1966 series 2a to commute so rendering the puma useless which isnt why i bought it for her, sorry its a bit long winded but im very frustrated with my local dealer and the vehicle  cheers paul |
