[Torque]

Looking at picking up a Navara in the not too distant future so am here to have a look around, pick up tips and hopefully in time give something back to the forum.

Cheers guys

Hi there my mate is on his third Navara he does about 150k miles in 24 months he swears by them.

OK he buys new and parts with them when out of warranty but they are a good workhorse for him. He does trips to Ireland a couple of times a week and up and down the UK.

Cheers for that macabethiel that's good to hear, in hoping above hope to land a job which will involve visits to farms and out in to some wild country in all weathers so a report like that is good to hear :thumb2

Been there too Zip, how's the caravan trade doing, there's plenty on the roads. Do you or are you allowed to do your own servicing out of work times.
If so and you were closer, I would be interested.

[GS Jockey]

Afternoon folks. Right, justy a quickie for now, my names is Dave, and I've got to go out on one of my vehicles, which you'll notice don't particularly belong in a 4x4 club. :D
But I'm thinking of getting a Terrano. I'll beback later to say a bit more.

Cheers,

Dave.

welcome Dave.. you seen the light then! BMW are rubish in the snow :naughty

Mine especially, as it's only got two wheels. :D I do have a spare set with some knobblies on, but never got round to trying them. It's meant to be a trail bike, but at 1100cc and pushing 500lb, it's a bit of a handful in owt slippy. Might get some new knobblies later, give it a try this year if we get the white stuff.

But I'm hoping to get a Terrano first... A girlfriend of some years back had one, a 2.4 petrol five door, and as she was sick of driving everywhere, put me on her insurance. As I'd learned to drive in a Land Rover, I was immediately at home in the 'tank' as she called it. (Actually the first thing I learned to drive was a tank, the L/R came a few years later. :D )

It was nice an comfy, got a good view of things as I'm used to on a big bike, and in spite of her making a point of telling me that 'Such a large, high vehicle can turn over easily', I think I took the first corner a bit faster than she liked, I never came near to any acrobatics with it. Though the rear-wheel drive did take me by surprise as it skipped when I floored it out of a roundabout; I'd just assumed that the two-wheel option would be via the front...

Anyway, I'm looking for one. I'm after a diesel, and because I'm a Yorkshireman, probably a pre March 2001 version, as they're cheaper to 'tax'. I've been watching them on ebay for a while, and there seem to be a lot of decent ones (and a few dogs) in my price range, up to about 2k.

I'm not too concerned with mileage, as I doubt many people can stress a 2.7 diesel, and the fact that it has chain-driven cams is a bonus. I mainly want it for commuting to work in winter; as I do agency driving at the moment, I could have to go anywhere within a 50 mile radius. Not good on two wheels on cold, dark and slippery winter's mornings. Or similar evenings, as I found out on the Yam earlier this year.

I'm not fussed about colour, though the Red or Green ones I think look better. And as my current 'girlfriend' is wanting to get into motorcycle gymkhana, a tow bar would be useful.

Reason I've joined the forum? Well, there's a similar set-up for the Beemer, 'UKGSers', and suffice to say their £12 membership is possibly the best £12 I'll spend in a year. So I know from experience how good/useful such a forum can be. And some of the comments I've read suggest this one is up to the standard of the GSer's. So yes, I'll be paying my £10 on pay-day...::thumb2

Right, all for now, work in the morning and I hear my bed calling...

[96terrano]

Welcome, I see you're in Cumbria, im in Dumfries and Galloway :D

[solarman216]

well just a couple of points Dave, it is the 2.4 petrol that is chain driven cam, the 2.7 TD and TDi are gear driven push rod jobbies, Rick

[zippy656]

Dont forget also can run on cooking oil.
:clap:clap

[melissachels]

Welcome :thumb2

[RobN]

I spent a lot of time weekending from Yeovil, Portsmouth, Boscombe Down etc to the west country. Terri would sit in the car park all week - Friday pm turn the key start first time, whatever the weather all week, drive home sticking to the relevant speed limits :augie. Sunday night turn key and return never a problem.
Sorry clutch blew about 10 miles from home on return trip, RAC to Yeovil, £750 later (including service and MOT) restarted the old routine.
Mpg not great but comfort and just knowing that it was going to take severe weather to stop me going home - well worth it :thumb2
