Wecome Mud Monkey, you've found the best 4x4 club there is! We're a helpful lot, mostly with a few screws loose, but helpful nonetheless. You're also about to buy one of the best 4x4's on the market, solid, capable and very, very reliable (mostly!) Sounds like you're not too far away from me (I'm in Bristol, although my Terrano, a '94 SWB 2.7TD is permanently based in Spain where we, me n 'er that is, spend about half the year). No doubt some more knowledgeable than me will be along shortly to tell you what to look for when considering looking at a Terrano, as they can rust, particularly if they have been used for hauling boats out of the sea at some point. The 2.7 diesel engine is pretty bomb-proof, an earlier (non-turbo, non-intercooler) version, was used in London black cabs, some knocking up mileages of in excess of 300K, and most of us here in the club have models with well over 100k on the clock (mine has done around 125K). Once again, welcome, I am sure you will find club membership at only £10 a year is money well-spent, I have saved that many times over by acting on advice from other members.

to me from the pics yes. if the garage dont know a lot Id have a bash at getting it down a bit.. front looks low .. ( search here for tortion bars simple to do im told, still got mine to do ) my be able to talk a few £ off.. take your time.. get thE seat warm on the test drive.. AND THE ENGINE some times the heater only works on full blast.. simple fix in down load section ( after £10 ) OH YES, you dont have to have that one.. if it dont " feel" right.. just cause you have gone all that way. |
