New Terrano owner and club member in Iceland but a Brit

[Sparks61]

Hello to all, Just to introduce myself, I am a Brit who is going to be in Iceland for the next year and I have just bought a Terrano II 2004 2.7 TDI with 93,000 km on the clock. So far just had to do minor stuff to make me happy. I must admit I like driving it now - I wanted a 3.0 but couldn't find a good one. All my local Icelandic friends are already saying I should lift it and put 35"s on it :-).

Welcome aboard and for what it's worth I prefer the 2.7, like the gear driven timing. As for the locals, don't trust em they blow there tyres up with gas and a match:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol
Check out the downloads section within quick links as there is a workshop about lifting in there if I remember right.

Good man go with the locals 35"s are the way forward :sly
Keep us posted if you go that route as there's no blinking room where yo want it :lol
I love all the Iceland Patrols so let's see your T2 :cool:

welcome to the club, those icelandics do love to make their truck bigger, if you do go down the 35" road you are going to need a bigger hammer :lol

LOL - I have no plan to go that route yet but if I did I would probably enlist the local expertise - these guys have apparently done 38's !!

I have tried to get hold of them but they have moved after the financial crash - spoke on the phone but haven't answered e-mail today. Mine is standard apart from being on 245 x 70 x 16's (Goodyear Silent Armour). I'm not going adventurous but I want it to do the business on snow packed / wet gravel / dark / narrow icelandic back tracks.

A message to other newbies - this club is superb and don't do like I did and post without searching first. The search engine works fine and the info on here is mind boggling. SEARCH FIRST !!

Thanks for the welcome all
