New forum member here, the name is Derek, I live in the green valleys of Carmarthenshire in South Wales and I finally got sucked in and paid my dues after so many glowing references for this place.....
had a Nissan Terrano II SE since new in 1998 hardly done a thing to it
160,000 miles on the clock
1 x clutch
4 new gas shockers @ the 10 year period whether it needed them or not !!
cleaned the MAF once
and other than tyres and exhausts and the odd oil filter and oil change that's all it's ever required, oh had the front bearing tightened up once to have the play taken out of them
my day job is computers/networks/security for the 2nd largest IT company in the world for my sins
I've got a few minor problems with the old Terrano II and I wonder if you can help at all ?
first one is chewing the insides of any tyres I put on the front I suspect camber OR that my torsion bars have run out of puff
second one my engine light seems to come on after I have taken it over 3000 revs for a while and then when it's dropping past 2800 with my foot off the accelerator the light comes on then stays on until it drops to idle after about 30 seconds at idle it will go out and won't happen again for several days
the other thing I've noticed is it's getting a bit clattery when starting from cold (probably age related)
and the last one is when you rev from cold it "used" to rev through smoothly all the way up to the red line if required, but now from cold there are about two areas it revs thru which make it skip a beat not sure if it serious or not
it's not consistent and doesn't do it all the time
so any pointers on these particular problems would be great !! :)
pleased to meet you all :)
