2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Tonga Green

Same as mine - By the end of the warranty it had....

Replacement engine
2 ECU's
Clutch
Steering box
Air con compressor

As well as a few minor repairs [Swivel seals, another Air con fault, couple of electrical issues]

That lot totals about 10k or so inc labour !! Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

You need to remove any electrical mods incase they do updates on the car that could affect it.

Everything done by Guy Salmon's at Thames Ditton ............ couldnt fault them, fantastic service, great communication and good after repair contact

Mine was one of the first batch for sale ... which alas had a machining fault on a oilway in the head [lack of oil feed to cam resulting in premature wear and distinctive clatter]

LR replaced all engines complete rather than repair .... mine was done with 200 miles on the clock !

a bit embarassing calling into dealers .....

popping bonnet and taking the engine apart (well swapping a small part of it)....

salesman who knows what the issue is suggested while the bonnet was up that I swap the gearbox

hopefully get an update tomorrow. got a freeland hse and its doing less MPG than the defender !!!!

just had a call from the dealer to tell me its the clutch thats gone.

not had a clutch fail on me before but I thought this was more gearbox, transfer box or differential than clutch?

any thoughts?

Do you have a TSB reference or similar for this? I hadn't heard of this defect.

Do you know which vehicles were affected?

Land Rover Service Bulletin SSM38792, 2.4 Puma Engine Knock Noise.
Title: 2.4 Puma Engine Knock Noise.
Type: LD - Defender - All Years - Special Service Messages - Engine
Name / Part No: SSM38792
Info Type: Service Bulletins
Version No: 1
Date Uploaded: 21 Jul 2008
Models: LD - Defender
Title: 2.4 Puma Engine Knock Noise.
Last Modified: 21-JUL-2008 09:44
Category: Engine
Symptom: 497000 Engine Noise

Content Issue: Heavy audible knocking heard on start up.
Cause: On start up oil pressures can cause the piston cooling jets, (PCJ), to latch into a zero flow condition. Due to hysteresis effect in design the jets do not unlatch until the engine is warm and the oil pressures lower again. During this time with no pressurized oil jet flow to the lower pistons / cylinder bores, overheat and scuff conditions / damage can occur.

Action: Replace the engine assy but ensure only engines post serial # ELD00080707063602 are used.
This condition will not occur on vehicles post assured Vin# 9A767162.
Engines post the info above are fitted with modified PCJ internal springs and this issue is now closed.

Effects a batch of engines fitted before July .... check your vin
