Salutations!!!

[Blueone]

Hello folks,

I have been lurking on here for a little while trying to build up my knowledge of the Terrano beast.

I bought mine in October, it is a 2000, W reg 2.7tdi auto, 5 door model in blue over silver. I bought it with an intermittant fault, slight missfire under load, mainly when accelerating hard.

I have lived with the problem up until now but the other thing is every now and again it will stall for no apparent reason, this is getting more frequent lately, to the point where it is getting dangerous, especially when going around roundabouts :eek:

Symptoms are making me suspect the crankshaft position sensor. I have done a diagnostic, thanks to the PDF file on here and it has bought up error codes 21 and 11.

So, before I shell out £100 on a new one, I just want to ask you guru's what you think.

I apologise that my first post is one asking for help but will hopefully become a contributor, imparting my limited knowledge on these 4x4 machines.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Cheers,

Mike :thumb2

heyup Mike, welcome to the club!

I suspect it is the CKP as you have found. The issue occurs because the CKP (magnet) loses its effectiveness due to age. It is affected more by heat, i.e. symptoms worsen as the engine gets hot. I had the same thing happen to me, stall when approaching junctions, powerloss during driving etc etc new CKP=problem gone! Its a lot of money for such a small magnet, but it fixes the car good as new and easily fitted by yourself. Dont bother with used ones, unless you dont plan to keep the car long!

best of luck!

Welcome aboard, I'm in agreement with clivvy as mine was exactly the same.
