I can’t say as I don’t know the dimensions of the pulley holder.
You don’t need a special spanner on the Puma as it isn’t as tight. The holes in the pulley are 70mm apart. Here’s what I ma ... |

| For the fan you need something to hold the pulley while you use a 36mm spanner anti clockwise. I made my own tool out of some flat steel pieces with slots in them. That way I could put some 6 mm screw ... |

I would say yes.
When I bought my 110 a year ago the HU was locked and we didn’t have the code so I thought ok, I’ll get a new HU and see how it sounds. It was a shock how terrible it was!

Sadly MatLandy is probably right, the only other explanation to the continued leak is that I screwed up (which, when I think about it may have a higher probability still).
23Nm was a bit low for my ... |

I had the seal behind the pulley fail on a previous Puma. That mess was on another level, to the point where oil made its way to the windscreen.
I will monitor for sure. I really like the fix with a ... |

Did a 2700 km trip over the last couple of days and drops of oil started to appear as soon as we parked. Under the hood it wasn’t so much and I believe it is the vacuum pump but can’t be sure.

Should be alright. If you look at the old shaft you will likely see that not the full length of splines has been engaged on them either.
In addition to the the length check of the shafts you can als ... |

This is from the recall and service bulletin thread, I didn’t find any information other than the headline:
SSM44470 - Defender transmission oil filler plug
Could it be any correlation? |

Make sure as blackwolf says that the ball joint is loose, this will release some tension.
