2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Santorini Black

3.2 TDCi

Not sure if it has been discussed before(cannot find thread) Has anyone considerd fitting the 3.2, 5 Cylinder Transit TDCi to a Puma. Would like to think mounting to gearbox is the same, engine mounts might be close. Fan housing would need a mod. Just a thought!

Thats the engine they should have fitted or at least give people the option of ticking a box for it when ordering
