Thanks everyone
Roy5695, I think you might have a point here. Currently my 'Oil Service' message is displaying. It seems the dealer hasn't reset it after the service.
It will be interesting to g ... |

Hi All
I recently sent my 2012 2.2 Defender in to the dealer for its 50,000K service and as part of this they said there was a recall to replace the oil pump - which they have done.

Yes, I have this problem on a 2012 2.2 110.
If I fill it using the automatic cutoff of the bowser it will leak on the forecourt then as I drive along, diesel leaks onto the road and little droplets ... |

Hi All, just FYI...
After going into limp mode (and associated MIL), my 2.2 2012 was diagnosed with a split intercooler hose. This is the hose on the left hand side of the vehicle (when in the driv ... |

Hi Chris
I have a 2.2 CSW and when I first got it I had a similar worry to you. The demo 2.2 that I had driven had a raised air intake and I hadn't noticed the induction noise but on the one I was ... |

Hi mrandmrsh
As time has gone by the clunk has got less bad. I mainly put this down to a change in driving style by me (feathering throttle on gear change) but I also think the clutch has become sm ... |

Thanks for all the feedback! This has been really helpful.
I guess I'm slowly formulating a view on the best approach...

Nice one guys. Your family is a pretty close match for mine and we just love our Defender. The Puma is totally underrated as a family wagon.

Glynparry25, what you are saying pretty much makes sense. I think I need to use the brakes more. I will also warm the vehicle up thoroughly before heading down.
Sockpuppet - nice explanation!

David - sorry I didn't answer your question re TC/ABS.
Yes I have TC and ABS but the reason I'm avoiding the brakes is more the long term overuse problem rather than for avoiding a skid. I'm very c ... |

I always thought diesels had MORE engine braking than petrols due to their high compression - but then again, ... |
