Hi and welcome mate, see you have some rust on your OSF wing, a member on here has one for sale brand new if you are interested, bit dear but like hens teeth to find, Rick

[wullie]

Hi Rick cheers for the heads up, a good friend of mine has his own body shop and has said he'll have a wee look at it for me as it maybe rescuable lol

[Rynne22]

You have obviously trained your eyes to spot rust everywhere. uh oh I could be in trouble.

You need a mug on the bonnet, wullie :rolleyes:

[wullie]

There's a few wee blemishes on it but it's nothing major, mug? As in cuppa tea mug lol

[Rynne22]

If there's one thing this novice has learned from the kind and knowledgeable men on here is that no bonnet is complete without a mug - be it coffee or tea. :D

[wullie]

I'll have to sort that out tomorrow then lol that'll be my first mod haha

[Rynne22]

I'll have to sort that out tomorrow then lol that'll be my first mod haha

Excellent!

[johnb5177]

I now have a vision of tea and coffee mugs stuck to Terry and Trol bonnets.......a la `Flying Lady`………:thumb2

[wullie]

Or could be positioned nicely to hold the bonnet open just a touch :-)

[Sweety]

Nice looking motor & you have got it just in time as prices will shoot up very soon with forecasts of snow:thumbs not seen many green over grey T2's as most are green over gold:augie

[Rynne22]

I think coffee mugs can only enhance Terry's stunning good looks!

[wullie]

Cheers I'm not to sure if it's gold or silver I'll need a look in the morning:thumbs

But for what I've paid for it I can only think I could make of it if I were to sell it :naughty I reckon it'll certainly get put to use with the boat in the better months

[jims-terrano]

Nice looking truck, Rick isnt that eagle eyed, its a Terrano its bound to have rust on the osf wing:lol only 19 year old Terrano's covered in waxoil dont have rusty wings:lol but the less said the better about that:doh

Keep an eye on the sills and the rear seat belt mountings which are the bolts in the rear wheeel arches.

We might have to make a new fake member and introduce themselves as owning their terrano for 25 years :lol with a link to this thread :naughty

That'll catch his attention.

Now who's paying the tenner? :augie

[jims-terrano]

Hahaha good idea Alex :lol:lol:lol

An L reg Teranno with 14k on the clock thats been garaged all its life

A new member thats just bought it for £100

(Something like this would do) :naughty

Hi, I'm new to the forum here, can't believe I have not found this place before, seems to be a wealth of information on here.

I have been a terrano owner for 21 years and have a feeling nobody else will come even close :naughty my truck is in mint condition and have been annually waxoiled underneath. We benefit from having a jet wash always ready to hand to spray off the road grit this time of year.

Here is a picture of my terrano, can't imagine anyone has the old shape anymore but it is a lovely motor. :naughty

Due to my annual care and constant washing I am proud to say this is the most rust free terrano left standing.

[wullie]

Going from what I'm reading I take it yer man has a minted terrano that's looked after rather well

[AlexD333]

Do I have authority to make a dud account then? :lol :naughty

[firebobby]

Don't forget the axle stands :doh

[wullie]

Can anyone help me with how I'd be able remove this monstrous beast and be able to use the hazard switch as I've a flip screen from my old car I'd like to use :-)

[jims-terrano]

The later models have the conversion panel fitted with a separate switch and single din head unit. The same panel is often offered on fleabay for stupid money. Have a word with CNCFABS or one of the other people breaking on here to see if they have the panel and switch.

[AlexD333]

If you buy the "facia" you can get a haz button off a primera if I remember right. Or just make a flick switch ect (no it doesent need to flash for mot) :thumb2

I think you might need to do some wire splicing, just get a switch, and test which two are the haz button wiring, I think it was brown and black if I remember right (only 8 to choose from)

Then you can design whatever you want. :cool:

[AlexD333]

You will need the audio connector adaptor too, trying to find a pic :thumb2

[jims-terrano]

Think you have to be carefull with hazard switch wiring, someone post a while ago that cut the wires to fit an ordinary switch and it led to all kinds of electrical problems.

Yeah I'd spotted what looked like a conversion panel on eBay for around £115 for a silly wee bit o plastic with the switch built in to it lol

Think it's going to have to be something that I'll look into and find a proper way to fit one

Lol yep that sounds about right. I got mine at trade for about 65 quid I think, still huge cost, then we made a flick switch off the correct two cables.

Mine is a 2005 and has the old stereo setup.

This is mine, got rid of the dinosaur.:thumb2

I used a black plastic chopping board and one of these switches.

You'll need a single DIN converter lead , check the plugs at the back of your radio.

Make up a cardboard template to fit the hole, once you're happy with the fit transfer if to the chopping board, then mark out the hole for the single din radio.:thumb2

Have a look where my radio is fitted, near to the bottom of the chopping board.
There is a reason for this, it will become apparent when you come to do yours.

I chose a radio without a CD player (it has a USB slot and input for i-pods etc) and it is a shallow unit due to this.:thumb2

The hazard lights work by connecting the GREEN/RED wire to the BLACK wire via the switch.

The hazard light plug into the back of the standard radio is the BROWN one, the DIN fitting is the WHITE plug.

Got my new head unit just waiting on the cables and switch then I'll be in action lol, seems a decent enough unit for little money :-)

Cracking unit, and no CD's cluttering the car.:thumb2
I think I paid £50 for mine but I have seen them cheaper since I bought it.

I also got a micro USB stick, it doesn't stick out of the radio much so less chance of catching it.:doh If you look at my picture you'll see the USB stick under the cover to the right, the cover almost closes, but not quite!:thumb2

Micro USB:
