Which gear is fitted to the Puma defenders? They've got to be on the same gearing from the speedo point of view, as it's after the main gearbox. 1.2 LT230 and 235.85/16 tyres.

As above, you want to work with no bumpstops really. So for me at worst case with no bumpstops I’ve got 15mm of clearance. That should mean once the bumpstops are on I’m good even with the engine rubbers in full compression.

It looks familiar like I’ve seen it before. It’s not out of the SVC concept or whatever the 90’s defender replacement concept was called?

I'm guessing that given the blue-box nature of the part, they're cost cutting by halving the size of the plastic molding tooling.

I fitted a waxstat one from Allmakes to a friends 90 after high trying a load of different ones which didn’t work.

What I find even more useful than a powerprobe.... is a mate with one.... who is sh!thot at electrics and doesn't like to be beaten Also love the Milwaulkee ratchet. Having seen Al use one on the Skid Factory on Youtube I want one. Annoyingly though all my tools are Dewalt, and they don't make an equivalent sadly .

Dare I say it.... Buy cheap buy twice!

Exactly. It's all well and good having a RR/Disco that can fetch, but having a utility vehicle sold with a smaller margin will keep sales going in the low spots.

I could get mine off with the Safety Devices cage? It was close, but doable.

See if your budget will stretch to a pair of OME springs. @western has had them on his 110 for years and it carries a lot of extra weight.

I think for life on the road I'd just go with a breaker bar and sockets. Decent impact guns are heavy and can go wrong. Decent breaker bar and socket(s) is pretty foolproof.

My plan for the 648 sump holes is to fill the appropriate pockets in the casting with weld and then drill and tap to suit.

Love the colour combo the dark blue and the black

That's brilliant
