hi MSE, no its Yarnolds (sorry Guy Salmon, Stratford Upon Avon)

when i first got the puma I gave him a call and tha parts manager (this is where i get my microcat cd's from) The tec said that the Td5 engine and body wiring looms were completly different to the puma and as such the sopt lamp kit wiring was different and they didn't sell it seperatly !

if there is a kit i'm going to drive up there and kit his arse !! it'll be worth the 100+ miles

I know most of them up there - his name escapes me - but i know him through LRJ connections and a friend. They havent always been too hot on their parts system (took them a week to find a part for me on it as an example and then it was wrong! took me 10 minutes)

I wont hold it against you...Guy Salmon cov or stratford isnt north warwickshire

As for the kit...he is right the kit is part of the driving lamp kit but was avaliable seperately.

Its not too dissimilar to the TD5 kit...in fact get a late TD5 kit and it will work.

One difference is routing for the wiring, which (if you follow the instructions) runs over the gearbox tunnel not through the bulkhead. YOu can still do it that way. Mike

Yes - Just down the road.

I use Guy Salmon Cov though for the car stuff and parts occasionally them, but only usually urgent essential things. Mike

my parents used to live in a village just outside of Stratford, so know that area. I get all my parts from them.

Much better when they were Yarnolds...used to know a lot of the service guys (still one i think there)...a little more "cowboyish" then but better dealers for it (if that make sense). Mike

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Is there a definitive answer to this? Do LR have a wiring kit for spots for the Puma that is separate from their spots?

I'm keen to get one too, but would rather avoid LR prices.

Just make one, using the genuine switch!! the rest is just wire a relay and a holder for £70!!!!!! Mike

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS DCPU Tonga Green

Right chaps,

I have re-traced my steps. The kit that fits is the STC 53208 (Td5, 02>)

I checked the cable kit in the full setup (with lamps) and compared it to the setup with the TD5 Kit and if anything the Td5 kit is better made with more robust parts and no need to cut into your vehicle loom which is what you have to do with the full kit.

I am uploading the pictures now and the measurments are as follows:

Y junct to battery box cable: 150cm
Y junction to Switch: 70cm
Y junction to main beam wire: 190cm
Y Junction to spot lamp plug joint: 150cm

I will be fitting it like the Td5 instructions too as I have fitted a under cubby box safe so can't feed the switch/main beam wire through that way which it describes in the instructions.

I also have the fitting instructions for both kits (I will be using a combination of both) on pdf format if anyone wants me to email it through to them.

Still uploading so will post this, go for a coffee and then put the pictures up

Yes the kit is expensive but it is VERY well made and all the hassle parts are taken out or the job (getting the right lenghts, tidying them up and having everything to fit). I am happy with my purchase.... Might be an idea to contact XJ Electronics and see if they will sell you Part 12284 direct. That is the full wiring kit minus the switch

Good luck with your kits,
Glyn :sheep:

I don't know how I could put them online.... I am a tech biff when it comes to this sort of thing. Do they need hosting or something like that?

I can attach to email though

I removed the LR spots and wiring kit that was fitted to one of my previous TD5's and have used the wiring kit in both Puma's I've had with no problem. Steve.
