I'm thinking about one as now I've thrown my original alloys with Grabber TRs in the back of the shed for winter; my HD rims with 7.50 XZLs shimmy like hell when I hit a drain cover and at 5kg heavier ...
 110 d/c harsh ride

I used to drive (and still have in fleet!) 110 Td5 DC and the ride is firmer than Puma USW I drive now. The DC has no anti roll bars but corners at least as flat as the USW.

Yes, lots when it chooses to come on. It seems not to want to work when the interior is hot. A couple of miles up the road with the windows open purgin ...

Believe it is all 110 utilities built from 1st May 2009 are N1 light goods. Mine was registered in June 2009 and is, but it is the build date that is critical not the date of registration so buyers of ...

The other thing to check is if your radiator restricted (mud?) is any way as the ECU will not start the aircon if the engine temp is too high.

Just to be sure when you say working normally you mean ...

When it works it works normally but on the occasions it chooses not to the compressor isn't cutting in. My feeling is most likely one of the pressure or temperature sensors being faulty. It may even b ...

I'm not convinced my a/c is behaving as it should. If I get in and start it for the first time that day the a/c blows cold straight away even when ambient is nudging 30C. But if I drive somewhere and ...

Thanks for posting manual, very helpful! Have I missed something though, it says Puma 140PS, not 122PS?

Try RACECHIP from Germany. You have the option to regulate some "parametres".

I've had one of these on my 110 TDCi for a year and seems not to cause any problems and very easy to fit/remo ...

It seems the Puma wiring or its ECU is very sensitive to poor earths. Mine gave a lot of trouble with not starting where the temperature gauge went off the top of the scale, the engine would turn over ...

A whole fortnight and the problem has not recurred so I guess we have to call it fixed so well done to Lookers LR Bishop's Stortford and LR technical support for getting it sorted.

I had a faulty central locking solenoid on my 110 which ran the battery flat sometimes but not others. Could be worth the getting your dealer to take a look if you have central locking.
