Oh I take it back, drove it around yesterday for half hour to top up the battery, tried starting it today and nothing! 13v on the battery so that should be more than enough. It's off to the garage at the weekend so I'll report back.

Rather embarrasingly, it just needed a jump start from something with more juice than the battery pack I had..!!

That refreshing didn't work unfourtently!! Any other thoughts guys :):)

I'll try that regarding the lock thing, The screen says 'Oil' and 'Service'. Thanks

Hi guys, My 2012 Puma isn't starting, please see this video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jPxWxn5sc2ZuCPg98 On Thursday morning it did this, I locked then unlocked the car and it then started fine. Later that day I tried again and nothing. I tried jump starting with one of those starter packs...

It 100% heads toward the bulkhead, I didn't follow it up all the way. Will investergate further when the rain stops

Second times a charm, you're right Miktdish, it was just a lot of sheath and the cable itself wasn't too hard to cut through. Car moves again, woohoooo!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/MapdhGJKz5Uxv2DYA If anyone can ID this cable, would be good to know:

Not sure if it's any help for you, but I found Cuvva to be very reasonable, but you do have to book it in and pay as you go.

Haha so I cut the wrong cable first.. this one.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/MapdhGJKz5Uxv2DYA Cut very easially and appears to be some kind of breather cable, I saw what I now know to be the right one, and thought "that's too thick, can't be that.." For confirmations cake, it's the one coming...

Just found this thread too: https://www.defender2.net/forum/post871205.html

Thanks Tottot, Honestly I think it was on for a good ten seconds, the smoke came not from the battery but underneath and then up into the battery compartment.

Thanks for the reply, makes sense!! Do you think there is a short somewhere, or more that the handbreak cable was acting as that earthing cable, at put too many amps through it, and melty melty

Hi All, These problems could be unrelated, but as they both started at the same time, I'll list them both and let's see where we go! So I have a 2012 Defender, ex Countryside Converation Trust, with a two battery set up, with winch. Please see a video here of the set up...

Superb! Thanks :) Transfer box next weekend!

RAVE said so... :(

Hi All! I decided to crack on with my gearbox oil change today... after my disapointment last time of realising my torx set only went up to T50.. Anyways, the old oil was proper golden brown - and it had one of those magnetic sump caps, with a lovely amount of filings on... I expected it to be...

Okay well I'll definitely get one of those, then just gotta worry about how to fit it on... I got a compressor from Machine Mart before, I'll sign up to those E-Mails! I'd love to learn to weld, just need to get the funds together first! Thanks for all your help Ian!

Ian, thanks again! I've found the bulkhead from that sellers own website: http://shop.classicbulkheads.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62_67&product_id=120 It looks pretty good to me! At the moment I don't know much about welding but I'll get reading and on YouTube and that should...

Thanks for getting back to us Ian, I don't have access to wielder, so I'll have to buy one! Is that something similar to this: http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/epages/BT4822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4822/Products/005B

The bottom looks OK, but not great... the bolt heads are rusted and there is a few mm of rust where the piece right under the pedals joins onto the floor...
