Yes - I've done it - I find the Puma a big improvement in 99% of the ways over the TD5. TD5 wins on the engine note though

I think I'm gonna make the jump, done a lot of reading up and I'm hoping to part-ex 2 cars and cut down on bills which will be a plus, just need to decide between a double cab and a CSW or Utility.

Currently thinking a Double Cab looks the best, but the boot isn't enclosed so there's very little secure storage. The CSW is my second choice as I really want somewhere to put one of those massive roll out draws  Editor of FunRover - One blog. Read it!

Having a dodgy knee and having to sell it.

On a serious note, if I could do defender ownership again I would not buy crap I didn't need for it, and I would buy stuff that's neccessary for what I was doing with it.

Are you Defenderless? Oh no!

I drove ours the other day after having a 307 for two days as loan car. I honestly thought our clutch was shot at first - it's SO heavy! Is that what's getting your knee? Could you do something like an auto V8 or similar? Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

the only regret was speccing the cd radio/mp3 on my base model.

once i found out that i needed a £175 cable from land rover to charge and play my ipod the whole lot was ripped out and a pioneer/ jl set up was installed.

funrover - i went from a remapped td5 90 to a standard 110 sw and the lack of power is very noticable. After the 3 year warranty ends i will speak to gary at alive for some help. But the puma is better for long journeys in my opinion, compared to the td5

I think we'll live without that extra power for a little more comfort. Soft I know, but 6 gears, a side window vent and a heater that works are just too tempting and, dare I say it, have been standard in cars since 1967 At the end of the day, we're not power mad, but it is nice having a bit of get up and go for overtaking

Hopefully going down to the dealers this week to see what kind of a deal they can cut me, really want to have a test drive too to get a direct comparison. Editor of FunRover - One blog. Read it!
