it hinges at the back in under the wing, lift it up a bit and then pull towards the engine bay, hinges will then 'unclip' and top will come off. Cheers

Thanks jst
Just did it. Very very fiddly. Everything's in the way and you have to be extremely careful not to damage the paper element when you put it all back together. Its also hard to verify that the back lugs have engaged properly. You have to use a torch to see. No wonder there have been complaints about dealers not refitting the top properly. I think I'd rather do the gearbox oil - and there's not many who would agree with that ! Cheers |

Its easier to remove the pipe thus you can hinge up the top of the box Chris

Yes I think I'll do that next time Dieselhead . I'm no mechanic and 'removing pipes' is a bit Ed China for me in the sense that I may not be able to reassemble it properly (like he would)

To be honest I dont know what holds the air box in place as I have never needed to remove a puma one
I am sure someone will advise us shortly
Yes td5 is just rubber bungs Chris 2008 XS 110 2.4 Utility. Tonga Green 1953 Series 1 for restoration 1983 Mini Mayfair 2004 VW T5 Camper 2008 Diahatsu Sirion. Thats hers Classic Bolens Garden Tractors |

Pop rivets under the wheel arch that can be drilled to release the air box.

Hi,
Do not put the filter in the box but hold it on the top so that you can engage the top correcly. I am sure it is not clear .

yes - and rather stupidly, the turret cover of the shock absorber has a self-tapping screw which is UNDER the air box...
If you ever fancy replacing the front shocks, it may be worth removing that screw whilst you are in there [/i] Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

I had a problem with the air filter on mine which got saturated by rain because the oafs employed by the stealer didn't put it back properly. I do it myself now and I unscrew the air pipe and move that out of the way, undo the clips and lift the front of the airbox lid up.
This makes taking the filter out easy and the lid comes out as well. To reinstall, fit filter into airbox top and keeping the nearest part to the engine tilted back towards you slip the part closest to you under the wing and push gently back. To get the filter to sit nicely in position gently try to close the lid by pushing the felt/paper parts of the filter back towards you and it will suddenly drop into position. Refix clips. The rear of the box lid should now be under the clips but it's sometimes still not a good fit but that seems to be it with the Puma....... AlanH. |
