2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Alpine White
Cranking over but won't start nightmare!
Hello, to cut a very long story short please read through the thread at the end of this post for original symptoms for a non starting 2007 Land Rover Defender 110, Puma TDCi and the work Ian did on the Land Rover when over on Boa Vista.

Ian from IRB developments (and a member of this forum) did a great job putting right what previous mechanics had botched over here on Boa Vista when working on our Land Rover "Bubba"! After doing all his work Ian took the ECU back to the Uk with him, re-programmed it and sent it back over to us. It should have been a case of plugging it in and hey presto Bubba would be back on the road! But alas it was not to be and Bubba is still sick, off the road (over 1.5 years in total now!!!) will crank over but still not start. Ian reckons it's an electrical issue now causing the non start!?

So is there any mechanics (preferably with auto electrical and diagnostic skills) who would be willing to be flown over to Boa Vista, Cape Verde islands, put up in our house on the beach will all expenses paid (food and beer!) to have another pop at Bubba????

If you're interested (and have the experience!!!!) please PM me so we can swap email addresses and start some communication going!

If anybody knows anybody who has the experience and fits the bill but not a member of this forum please feel free to pass on my offer of an all expenses paid trip to a desert island to try and fix our Bubba!!!

Really miss our Bubba!!

Fingers crossed there's someone out there who can help us out as Ian's to busy to come over any time soon.

Couple of important points, you can't be allergic to cats or dogs, not mind living in same house with a 6 year old boy, be willing to work outdoors whilst getting a tan (plenty of sun cream will be required!!) love the sound of waves crashing off the beach and enjoy spending down time in beach bars!!

Thanks in advance

Richard
