Check out my thread here: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56815.html It seems that you are describing exactly the same problem. Bergos LR Defender 110 HT 2007 (2.4 Puma) https://www.facebook.com/LR.Wanderlust/ Last edited by Bergos on 28th Feb 2018 2:48am. Edited 1 time in total |

Still having issues
Map sensor replaced Maf sensor replaced Intrcooler hose replaced EGR valve replaced Start up and it goes great. Great around the doors 20-30 miles. Flies on the flat and down hill but add in a slope on a motorway/dual carriageway in top and it dies drops to 50 and then struggles afterwards (limp mode) unless you stop and restart it to reset it. Then it’s back to normal until you labour the engine in top. If I never went anywhere near a dual carriageway/ motorways I would not know anything is wrong.

Are you monitoring the temperature with Nanocom, Ultragauge or similar?
Monitoring the engine will give you the information which parameters are out of range and if there are any errors stored in the ECU. If it is not the overheating problem, then maybe it is overboost. Although I have a Puma by myself I have little experience with this engine. In a Td5, with the symptoms you describe I would guess it is overboost. Anyway - computer monitoring and recording is a must to solve this. Bergos LR Defender 110 HT 2007 (2.4 Puma) https://www.facebook.com/LR.Wanderlust/ |

I second that. You really need real-time monitoring. You can’t trust the gauges.
My real-time water temp was > 110 degrees and gauge was in the middle. a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover |

Well, after much head scratching and money spent it finally appears to be fixed. Failed turbo actuator!! The actuator was not working fully correctly. Cure was a new turbo. All working correctly now.

£912.00 for a recon exchange turbo fitted with a lifetime warranty. Expensive, but peace of mind for the future!
