Puma engine landy, where to buy?

[_tc]

Hello, I'm weighing up my options on work trucks. I'm after a puma 130 single cab but I don't want a new one. Does anyone know where to buy one or when utility companies renew theirs?

The puma engine (yes its a transit engine) is great! Loads of power, torque, everything you need from a landy engine. Just dont try messing with it, chipping it, tuning it etc... a friend did this and thats when the problems started!

 

The 6th gear is great, economical on the motorway, and the anti stall feature is pretty useful at times.

I have a 300 landy now and would like better mpg and more comfort etc. I had a puma 130 double cab but sold it. I had a td5 disco so don't want a td5 defender. It's a toss up whether I spend money on the 300 or get a newer puma. Can get a new chassis cab fo 19k plus vat but don't want to spend that much really.

Single cab Puma has NO leg room for either driver or passenger, and a good TD5 Defender is a load better IMO

 

I've had both and prefer the TD5.

Try this place Overland - Services and Products for the Utility & Public Sectors such as Forestry, Civil Engineering, and all aspects of Utility Support, including Specialist Utility vehicle design & build not sure if they do older vehicles but they do the extended cab meaning more leg room:thumbup:

We have a singlecab 110 puma at work, im 6ft 5 and i can fit in there, granted its abit tight but its not much of an issue!

 

Only thing i like about the td5 is the noise it makes with a straight through pipe!

haha dashboards are overrated.. i have bags of legroom. here's my latest dash (200tdi)
