Out of curiosity, what was wrong with your steering?

It's had alot of play in the steering for quite a while so got it looked at during the second service. The garage said i had over inflated the front tyres until i pointed out the oil leak. Two days ago(while waiting for a replacement) i had to turn really quickly and the steering went so loose that it's undriveable. The garage is picking it up on Monday. 130 crew cab

from what I gather the gear is wearing out (?) appearently it is a fairly common problem with the puma.

Oh wow... scary.

I reported mine had some (more and more) game, the dealer had it tighten under warranty, now I am being told it's normal...

2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Keswick Green

Does this issue apply to all Pumas or only to the first series up to .. Maybe MY09?

I recall my dealer saying that some steering parts were upgraded with MY10.

anyone with a LR bulletin or something?
