Grease nipples
Where are all the grease nipples located on a 2.4 puma. What is the recommended grease to use?

One or twice a year (more if wading). I just do mine once a year, and also when I'm changing lubricants on the gearbox and transfer boxes (something to do whilst you're waiting for the old oil to run out Thumbs Up ) Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Propshafts of a Puma don't always have nipples, some are sealed for life.
UJs (4) do still have them.

Then there are the ones where the factory simply omitted to fit the propshaft nipples.

There was a TSB on the subject some time ago, and if you spotted the omission before the warranty expired and asked, your dealer would fit nice new propshafts for you.

They're the ones where not only did they forget the nipples, they also forgot the holes for the nipples! Rolling with laughter
