I really wonder what the true incidence of shaft failure is on pumas....... Because we inhabit lr forums are we just seeing a biased sample because of this?and do you represent the many thousands of puma owners who don't have shaft problems after 100.000 miles or so.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

It was bad enough for my local main dealer's friendly senior technician to tell me about the problem when I bought my Puma. In 2010 he told me that they'd replaced "a significant number" in three years. The only thing they'd had to replace more of was the VCV.

He also told me that they were investigating the feasibility of fitting a grease nipple to the coupling with an access hole in the housing. That a main dealer was thinking on those lines on a vehicle which had been in production for only three years at the time suggests that it was a significant problem even then.
