2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Manual Stornoway Grey
Brave or Stupid???

After a previous bad experience that ended in rejection, I have decided to bite the bullet and try again.

Have just ordered another 110 XS CSW in Stornoway and am hoping for better things this time.

Any common issues to check on delivery? Should be collecting on Tuesday Smile

You may find swarf on the seats and floors. The reason for this is the roof lining and fixings are put in last, they drill and fit self tapping screws. Some of the swarf gets trapped in places and when the car is driven it falls out and will do so for about 3 weeks.

Cheers Andrew, the last one had swarf everywhere under the carpets, seems they just stick the carpets over it rather than clean it all out Rolling Eyes

Test drove her this morning Mr. Green so impressed with the refinement compared to my old 200 tdi.

Picking up tomorrow then off to Tong on Thursday to get muddy, will be on the standard Grabber road tyres though so that could be interesting after all this rain.

Well I only had that on the road for about a week so it's a dim and distant memory. This one did feel better though, ride was very smooth and quiet, suspension seemed really supple.
