So after some helpful tips from some members I decided to jack up the front and see what I could find, experiencing a knock on rare occasion whilst driving, usually on slight bend, not full lock.
Nothing appeared loose but much took a good tighten up and the two sets of front body mounts had a good turn too :thumb2
I tightened up the top arm bolts either side, and the shock mounts too

Tightened up arbs too, not much though, I did tighten up the bolt underneath a lot!!!! Worth checking

Painted my bash plate yellow - does look rather fetching even if I do say so myself!
Mines been an array of colours :thumbs
Silver, yellow, blue and now back to black.

Bash plate? What's that?? :augie
Removed mine when I did my lift as on the Trol the front prop passes through the guard and I was worried the prop might foul on it at articulation. The axle and all the other associated gubbins are in front of and lower than the sump anyway so it's very well protected.

I also have binned mine :lol
After the dints I have got in mine I left it on for piece of mind.
On the terrano it does leave the lower front end a bit exposed.

Often had to straighten the one up on my old truck with a big hammer where it curves for the bottom arms:lol:lol

Wouldn't bin mine as from.underneath you.can see beltz coolant hoses and sump. I'd rather perch myself on a rock with the guard than the sump :eek: ;)

I guess when you have 3 spare sumps who cares eh :augie ;)
Removing your bash plate is a bit like taking your hard hat off on site because things from above keep dropping on it.:doh
I am amazed that the 6mm bolts that hold it on are strong enough.
I would think that the bash plate would help to reduce how much water is forced into the engine compartment when wading.

Unfortunatly the Patrol guards are made of plastic, not only does this mean they do not need hameriting but it also means they are junk, I ripped 2 out of 3 of mine off when I got stuck in a hole at a pay & play site and had to be towed out backwards. As already stated the main areas of concern are protected by the front axel but since loosing them my engine is covered in mud which is not good. When funds allow I will replace but at over £100 per plate I feel they are very expensive for what they are.
Kind regards
Russell.

For the cost of that to happen all over again you might aswell get a fabricator to make a decent one? :nenau
Also Rustic its 4 10mm bolts eh not 6 ;) :kissy

Are you meaning the plastic steering guard? Must have been a hell of a hole! :eek: :lol
If it's the plastic guards under the gearbox and the transfer box forget 'em. About as much use as cardboard and all they'll do is collect crap and brush and create a fire hazard due to the heat coming off gearbox and transfer box.
They removed them from the Aussie Y61s as they were causing so many vehicle fires.

Your bash plate held of with M10 was this a later mod, as all mine are M6 ?
Only 4 too.!:nenau

Yeah those early terranos are made so cheaply :augie

Rustic can you get me picture of that because I fancy doing that Mod if I have the same stuff under mine to drill into :thumbs
More better for the purpose of maintainance, would be much speedier to remove when working on the car doing jobs too :)
Just drill out and re tap the existing holes.
Mine used to be m6 but after they sheared off I drilled them out and tapped them to m8.
An 8.8 grade m8 bolt has a shear factor of around 2 1/2 metric tons.
Plenty strong enough :thumb2

Mine are standard at M6, so no mods.

Think Alex has dropped a bolt:lol both my old 1999 & this 2005 both have had 5 bolts holding the bash plate on 3 at the front & 2 at the rear:thumbs bot sure what size the bolts are classed as but they have 10 or 11mm head on:augie i've copper greased the bolt threads to try & stop them from rusting in place & shearing off when I need to remove them as that happened on the old truck:doh

Yes I lost the steering and sump guard in one go, was at a pay & play they had dug holes they called tank traps and loads where getting stuck but only really suitable for short wheelbase as mine dropped in and could not lift the front as it was catching towbar at the back, problem with those guards (other than being plastic) is that they are only designed not to catch in a forward direction, so when my car had to come out backwards both of them dug in and pulled away from car and sump had disaperd by the time I got home steering still swings by just front bolts today. My gearbox one does not move as it is packed solid with mud.

Russell.

Funny you should mention.. 1 extra one fell out, but I thought it was off a CPS that were playing with at work as we dropped a bolt in a while back :augie
