Trying a Terrano

[J66P]

for a while

Bit of a story but having just sold my off road prepared Landcruiser I thought I would give a Terrano a go while my New VW Amarok turns up, mainly to be used for dragging my twin axle caravan about and a bit of greenlaning

Hi any more info,on which Terrano you have?The Terrano is a good truck(biased) and under rated by many.There a quite a few tin tent owners on here that use their Terrano's to pull em.I have used mine at pay and play sites,such as K.O.R.C. And Whitby off road center.

There is a wealth of information on here,including downloads for the workshop manual.
Also lots of modders on here.Oh and welcome.I also notice,that we are practically neighbours.

Hi any more info,on which Terrano you have?

2003 2.7 Tdi Sport in Silver with some 17 inch alloys fitted, not sure about much else with it to be honest, not sure if model type (possibly R20 ?)

seems in pretty good nick from what I saw when i was looking. Needs a few bits doing

I have already put a front pipe on it and give it a good clean, needs heater sorting as its on full heat all the time, the remote fob doesnt work off the buttons and the alarm goes off when I open the doors (reprogramming wont work), air con doesnt work but will probably just want gassing which will be done shortly. oh the transfer out put seal is just a bit damp so I will throw a seal in that as well

[zippy656]

full heat, theres a fix in teh download section for that

welcome to the club!

sounds like you bought a car same as mine! You can re program the fob, if that doesn't work buy a used fob from ebay and try that - that's what I did, works perfect. Alternatively disconnect the alarm - its behind the plastic panel drivers rear (that's what the previous owners did with mine). Oddly, I had to fix my remote, I need a new front pipe, my air con needs regassing and its an 03 plate....spooooooooky!

[J66P]

well heater is sorted, looks like someone had the dash apart and left the control cable clips off, wondered where all the spare screws in the glove box were from, luckily the clips were there also:D

Going to go for gassing this afternoon at my mates (air con technician:sly), will stick some dye in as well so if there is a leak it can be traced

There were 3 spare fobs in the glove box as well and non of them work, will disconnect the alarm bleeper just for now (thanks for tip on location) and get this sorted in due course:thumbs

also found rear indicator fault is just down to the numpty putting wrong bulb in (double contact):bow

sounds like you will be making some good progress! As for the remotes, how often did you try the programming? I only ask because it took me about 4 attempts before it worked!!:thumbs

[J66P]

to be honest I have tried so many times I am fed up

[Dynamics]

Hello and welcome.

[cupcake]

Welcome Gary. Saw this pics on FWDC - nice T2 Sport you got there. I do like them in Silver :thumbs

you obviously havent got the concept of how big this is:lol:lol

Its a Daihatsu chassis, engine and box (lowered and moved backwards to get COG as low as possible), Landcruiser 70 series front axle, Shogun rear axle with locker, mixed suspension but mainly Range Rover

Obviously :lol I was blinded by the KAK , sorry KA . I hate them with avengance :confused: Sorry don't know why :nenau
That's a fine bit of work though by the look of it , nice one :thumbs
Did you do the work yourself?
Ever thought of a locker for the front too?:naughty

[J66P]

My Mate actually built it about 6 or 7 years ago

No need for a front locker, the thing is very very well balanced and not too heavy, it does make some of the high end trucks look silly with where it goes. Been to KORC a few times and gone places the challenge guys are winching and this thing has just driven up:bow:bow:bow

[makeitfit]

Sounds better all the time, I like , well it's performance anyway :lol
Love to see it action sometime :sly

[J66P]

managed to tweek front torsion basr up a bit to elevate a bit of the sag, nice a level now

Also changed the air filter housing and got rid of the K & N induction kit (not my cup of tea)

also fitted LED lights into the side and interior lights

then nipped and got air con regasses

Will make someone a nice motor in a couple of months when i am done with it

Hi, I haven't been on here for a while as I've been Terrano-less for a few years now but I'm getting the urge for another. Is this one still for sale?

Cheers,

Ian
