Just back from Holiday

From Shipley west Yorkshire to pool in Dorset lovely weather and the terrano went really well 850 miles used dog guard and packed to the roof, so pleased with T2 ran so sweet, stayed at rockley park haven site, visiting pepppa pig world beulieu car museum and bournmouth plus sandbanks wow houses worth millions

These trucks do very well don’t they and so practical when you use them for a holiday.
Sounds like you had a much needed break and you deserve it too. I’ve wanted to go to Dorset for some time now, maybe one day.

Just got back from a 600 mile coast to coast green laning and camping trip.
Yes these old Terrano's do very well

Sounds like a reet car full I remember the days when we used to have to carry all the kids parafinalia too. For the last few years our third row has been stored upstairs from both terranos and even the third row from the truck that was written off. Still two of them will be going soon which will be a sad day but got plans for the oldest set. Still life goes on doesn’t it.

Not sure if it's true but the Dealer that sold us our old Terrano r3mR said the engines were the ones supplied by Nissan to the original firm that made London Black Cabs - hence the simplicity & reliability.

my brother ad i ran a fleet of 100 london black cabs from wapping wall,we were self employed to do all running repairs mechanical and bodywork and they were the 2.7 pre ecu pumps.
most were on lease and we earnt a lot of money running the place.
brother was in charge of mechanics i ran bodywork.
but the onos was get them back out asap,thank god most of the panels were bolt on and black as i had shelves of repaired panels just waiting to put on.
when a bit slack it was repair and paint the stuff i replaced.
clutches were the main faults but some ip pumps and injectors as well.
i think they are ford lumps in them now.
