    I made a replica of this rocker box that you made mate , I put cut bit of a bread crate to go in the bottom on top of some marine carpet and a couple of riffles and it works well , got some gold with it and a tiny ruby as well so it get gem stones also , I really like the rocker box . It is worth making the time to make one for sure.👍

    Thanks for the video. A common problem is know that if you take too long to fill the oil back ip again on the engine the oil pump drains out and looses prime, upon start-up it wouldn't prime even with the 7 liters of oil and that is the end of the bearings...

The furnace is fenced off, however you could still see into the compartments and the blue syinide on the walls. Men would have to go in and clean it off the walls, no lives lost, so they say.

    I've had a 2.2 Puma Defender since new in 2013. It's now done about 260, 000 k. I don't off-road and consider myself to be a coscientious owner and driver. It has had about six serious breakdowns from oil pump in the first year, through turbo, water pump, clutch, gearbox, and now head gasket. Most breakdowns have involved recovery and been more than inconvenient. It is currently waiting repair at my local garage. So much for reliability and ease of repair. Perhaps it was an unlucky 'Friday' product. If, as myself, you no longer want to get your hands dirty and live in the middle of nowhere, it's not easy finding a good garage willing to undertake maintenance or repair work. Perhaps living in rural France is part of that problem. It is far from cheap to run, without even considering the well known grumbles such as banging your elbow, getting hit in the face with flies, water dripping in through the doors and a backdoor that could knock you flying if not careful. I thoroughly love it and can't wait for the two or three weeks to pass before the garagist says it will be ready. It could be a love hate relationship.

    Many people don’t understand the importance of fitting the new O-Ring seal to the oil filter housing when changing the filter. As the old O-Ring has been under compression for so long it can loose it’s shape and ability to seal perfectly, thus possibly causing a bad leak further down the track. The trick of pre-filling your fuel filters can mean the difference between your Diesel engine starting quickly & easily or it taking lots of cranking time to pressurise your fuel lines sufficiently to get fuel to your injectors. Where possible, pre-filling your oil filter is also a good idea to prevent possible damage thru lack of lubrication.

      Why that Oil Filter housing is made of plastic, only Ford/Jaguar would know... the "nut" will strip or break at some point. Top-tip - first "crack" the oil filter housing just a smidge so you know you'll get it loose before draining the sump... otherwise... well, you can figure that out

    I drive a 2015 TD4, one of the latest. 180 km commute to work every day. About 65,000-70,000km a year. It has now run 512,000km and apart from 3 clutches and one new transfer case, I have not had any breakdowns so far. I've installed 2 ARB Airlockers and I'm regularly out and about in rough terrain. Engine gets fresh oil and filter every 10,000 km. The rest including manual and transfer case every 25,000 km. I've certainly spent more money on oil than on new tires over the years - but it thanks me for that and runs absolutely reliably. He will soon be getting new injectors as a prophylactic measure. Of course, it also has normal wear and tear, such as wheel bearings, brakes, etc., but that's all within limits. the most important thing is simple - don't buy cheap spare parts and oils! I've also been driving since 320,000 with the larger intercooler and an increase in performance to 170hp

    Mine is the same year and the same colour, it just has a white roof. I've had mine for 2 years. MY gear lever is still in once piece. I hold it lower down to put it into reverse. Hopefully that extends the life a bit. And I also have a net between the front seats to put stuff in. Great minds think alike!

    Great review, your spot on saying about owning one to understand, parts here in the UK are cheap, it's easy to fix as well (mine is 300tdi), I think a lot of people buy them thinking they're a new Ford, they don't do maintenence and then have grief , They do get under your skin though, I'd compare mine to a steam train, it has a soul, japanese vehicles just don't.

Aluminium and steeal dont like eachother. I served on some ships that had this problem but they were 50 years old. So youve ti.e yet i guess. Never realised they had ford engines, i used to make the 4 wheel drive units for range rover in uk they had a few problems the early ones split the caceings.

Hate the look of the so called new Defender.

      Don't discount the new Defender until you've driven one. The basic 90 version on coil springs/steel wheels with the 3.0 diesel is a lovely vehicle and does retain some character unlike a lot of modern vehicles. Of course it's not an old Defender but it's definitely worth a look.
