Hi all.
I noticed this post and it has struck a chord with me as I have had a few enquiries in the same vein.

Reading this thread, its interesting to see the wildly varying views on the the Puma vs TD5 (even though the thread is about the 2.2 vs 2.4)

Noooooo! I really shouldn't have read this thread. I have been chatting with Derrick at LRS about this conversion, but other jobs have constantly got in the way. Now I have the bug again.
