    Puma or TD5? Newbie questions

    Well the TDCi has a 6th gear, which is helpful. I will be honest i have never checked my MPG - its a second car so only fill up as much as i need. I would say the extra 6k is not just about comfort - as i am sure you are aware, condition is everything when buying, but lets call all things equal...

    Puma or TD5? Newbie questions

    TDCi - at the end of the day the TD5 was a very strong engine, however the TDCi is from a transit - it will to 200k all day long as long as you maintain it. In regards to other issue, yes, I have done 70 on the motorway totally comfortably, and even held a normal conversation with people in the...

    Help engine still runs after I take key out of ignition

    I have had the EGR valve stick and then fix itself. Had a break light go, but was just a bulb and have replaced it.

    Help engine still runs after I take key out of ignition

    Running on own oil? not sure what you mean. Right - either way it needs sorting - I shall investigate, thanks for narrowing it down.

    Proper immobiliser - security

    I faced this issue after my 300TDi was stolen. I now have a 2.4TDCi like yourself. Layers is the key - i have several - and won't go into the ins and outs. But deadlocks on all the doors is a must. I good pedal lock. Trackers are always helpful. There are few extra things - but a bit of research...

    Defender set up advice: Split charge, Webasto / eberspacher heater placement etc

    I want to put a second battery in there for running fridge / other bits, which is why its a no go. It could go in the driver one, but not too sure about heat and fuses mixing! I was not sure what phil meant about the access plate - unless its the one for the seat box - to which the previous...

    Defender set up advice: Split charge, Webasto / eberspacher heater placement etc

    Yeah second hand these are a few hundred quid, which is fine - but I want to place it in the right position, as obviously the air needs to come out and not set anything on fire! @dieseldog69 I dont think i can put in under a seat, if i have having twin battery in one and the fuses in the other?
