Re-posted on the Puma 2.2 section. No idea how to delete this!

Although not Puma, mine is down by the side of the heater box, close to the bulkhead, under the bonnet on the near side. There was sufficient ‘give’ in the pipe to carefully pull out it to work on it.
Replacing mine was transformational - night and day - but others remove them completely. Good luck 👍 Click image to enlarge |

Thanks Screbble. I will have look later today and let you know how I get on!
Only 2 weeks into Defender ownership so this should be a gentle introduction to self help maintenance 😂 |

It’s all good fun as ‘they’ say.
As you will see from the photo, they are only small so have a ‘feel’ along the pipe first and you should find it. It’ll be literally tight in the corner, in the gap between the heater box and inner wing. Good luck 👍 |

Found it! Very easy spot in the 2.2. But still in the same space with a little more room. Took out the valve, cleaned it and rebuilt it - small amount of crud. It was actually a blockage that I had pushed further down into the pipes. So a bit more air, focused from the valve end in the right direction this time, worked a treat.

Mmmm just had one of my ‘new’ NRV’s come apart resulting in what looks like an ectoplasm exposure.
Quick fix but flipping annoying ☹️ |

Did you need to remove anything to locate/replace it?

No just ‘feel’ for the pipe adjacent to the heater box and you will find it 👍
