Crap... the battery is past its best! But I have a 120 amp on charge ready to fit :thumbs
Thanks for the positive comments as always guys :thumbs
Did a 250 mile round trip to pick it up with an overnight stop at Ashbourne. Trying to pack essentials + the dog two kids me and the wife was fun! Good job the terrano swallows almost anything you want it to!! :bow

Yep, crap battery would do that..

Only thing id say is have the gas and electrics checked. Brakes would be good too.

Remember if you look your self yohll need new hub nuts, as they are ONE use only.

[zippy656]

In the down load sction theres how to make a front towbar.

Much better than a mover

Thanks for the pointers zippy, ill look into the front tow bar as its an extra option when moving the van about. Fixed a few bits on it today and ill be having it serviced asap new Alco hub nuts :thumb2
The Tyres are in mint condition but are the originals so are 7 years old :eek:
Is it as important to change them as on single axles? Could do without the expenses but will not compromise my familys safety.
Thanks Craig

Bought this van just before Christmas and have been itching to use it. Bought the terrano 3-4 weeks ago and we're away for Easter! 200 mile without problem! Now in Yorkshire meeting our pals from Scotland.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/17/azyvy4yv.jpg

We're at Golden Square Camping Park just south of Helmsley. Lovely location and the weather has been good to us so far.

Yes Sweety. It's 8 metres in length and I did bring almost the contents of my garage just in case! But they've both been trouble free so far. The kids on the other hand..... :rolleyes:

Seriously what is that cover on the front of the van?

i think its to keep it clean while your driving, and prevent stone chips
seen quite a few now with those on,

i know the front of mine sometimes comes home covered in bits of mud, road crud and dead insects :doh

It's to stop damage on the front. Mainly smoke damage from a 3ltr auto!:eek: Have picked up a couple of stone chips in the past so just slide a cover over the front now days.

I have been using one for 3 years now, highly recommended. they also keep the UV off the GRP front and stops it dulling during storage. Only problem is when you wash the van post winter there is a tide mark at the top :doh
Crystal Glow or MER soon shifts it.

Mine is starting to become fragile and prone to tearing, have repaired a few times using Bostick to stick some material on the back but will have to purchase a new one soon.

[jims-terrano]

Good call that cover, the soot is horrible.

Nice area around Helmsley, might be over that way next week (about 2000 feet over) :lol Get yourself across to Whitby, cracking place.

[firebobby]

I just wash the front off when I arrive if it's picked up mud or flies. I fitted an exhaust chrome end pipe with a bend in it, this stops the soot problem.
I always fit a full cover when the caravan is at home, stops scum bags seeing it and protects it from rain and UV.

[frosty]

I could almost put my caravan inside those caravans!!

We spent a couple of days Whitby a few years back Jim, and it is a lovely place. Even had the world best known fish and chips. Had to que for about an hour though!
Not going to get time to revisit this time but well probably come back to this area in the summer.
