Hi guys and gals.

Im a drystone dyker living in Edinburgh, now I have just gained a few contracts on estates and im in need of a 4x4. Ive looked and looked and narrowed it to a terrano 2 the 2.7td 7 seater. Or an older nissan patrol.

The backs seats will be getting removed and a flat floor and a steel bulkhead installed behind the front seats.

Which would you guys prefer? I travel up north a lot up to ulapool for an ongoing job so mpg is a factor.

Welcome buddy :thumb2 I'm you're friendly club moderator, any problems give me a shout.

Firstly, you are my hero!!! I'd love to do that for a living with the rain in my beard :thumbs Instead I'm stuck indoors fixing PC's :bow

Deffo go for a Terrano mate, parts are plentiful and they are reasonably cheap, bulletproof engines if you get the 2.7 although there is the choice of a 3.0 litre and a 2.4 Petrol.

The 2.7TDi is the majority favourite due to it's indestructibility due to chain/gear driven engines and will alos run on Vegetable Oil, 30MPG tops though but you'll save a fair whack on fuel if you go to the cash and carry :naughty

I presume you want the LWB to load you're stones into the back? If that's the case then the LWB will be the way forward for you I think :thumb2

I've got a SWB Commercial Terrano, link to my project thread in my signature.

Welcome to the forum :)

I would get a 2.7 terrano. Some really good deals out there, Parts are easy to get and pretty good prices.

Hello bloke!

Don't discount the 3.0di, the very early ones had problems but the later ones are just as reliable as the 2.7. The 3.0 is a bit more economical, and about 20% more powerful than the 2.7.

Both vehicles are easy to work on and fix, so you can't go too far wrong. Just avoid any rusty ones.

Hi guys, that sounds great, the lwb terrano it is, theres a few nearish to me so ill go give them a test drive, what sort of weight can these tow? Can the 3.0 take more?

04-12-2015, 08:30
Morning and welcome aboard. I'd have either of the two diesels. Terranos tend to be narrower so gates on those country tracks are not an issue but patrols still seem to manage to get through the tracks too. Defo less mpg with a trol but nice motors just the same.
Things to watch for are rust mainly but that said not a deal breaker if you can weld or my case my son is far better welder than me. As for mechanical yes they have their niggles but to be honest there probably isn't much that we haven't come across here and often cheap fixes too.
If you go for paid membership there's a great download section with how too guides as well as discount from milners 4x4 for bits.

Good luck with your quest to find one.

makeitfit
04-12-2015, 09:58
I'd love to recommend a Patrol but sadly they are few and far between while maintaining very high prices :o
Mind you if a gate were too narrow the patrol wouldn't notice and you'd have some extra work to fix the larger hole :augie
So if you did find a patrol it could be a win win :D
T2 it is then :freak3:

Welcome.
Sounds to me like you could be towing some hefty weight so I would avoid an auto as they can only tow 2tn but do so very well in my opinion. The 2.7 can tow 2.8tn. The 3ltr can manage 3tn. Manual gearbox. According to Parkers.
Rust issues are top of the list when looking to buy.
Good luck and upload photos asap. We all love photos. [emoji106]

Cheers for all the great info guys.will join up for sure as you all seem great, what a difference from mercedes forums haha.

banshee In this weather I envy your indoor job.

I think terrano 2 it is, i do like the sound of the 3lt but such similar towing weights that wont matter.

I do really like the all black interior in the 04/05 models and the blacked out headlights so im on the hunt for one of those, and the green color looks pretty good with some black wheels at 32 AT tyres.

One question did the swb commercial ever come with a bulkhead? As ideally I would like to fit one along with window mesh for safety as I live in a city.

Also what roof racks do you recommend as I use a rhino pipe tube to hold my walling pins.

Cheers again lads.

Do you guys ever meet up for greenlaning or offroading?

i am in the patrol camp myself and have been for years, however I think you've made the right decision although there is a 4.2 diesel long wheelbase y60 patrol on ebay at 4k and looks good....

whatever you look at the first and last word you need is RUST, RUST and RUST, sills, wings and anywhere inbetween. I have been to look at a very very tidy one owner terrano just recently it was lovely on the inside and the outside but underneath it was shocking and I mean shocking, both sills needed replacing as they were unrepairable this had also lead to body mounts needing work...the floors had also gone quite bad and radiator was lose because the front xmember had rotted out...
That is just worse case scenario and something to look for, there are good ones out there, a friend has just bought a perfect swb commercial in green which is lovely he paid £1800 for it...

It doesn't unfortunately mate but the guards can be picked up relatively cheap and come up now and again on eBay, what's harder to find is the genuine Terrano polystyrene load levellers and rubber floor mats but I have 2 spare lucky for you :naughty If you need them they are yours :)

As for window mesh, there doesn't seem to be anything off the shelf for the Terrano, last one I saw was a white one in the rear of a Red SWB Commercial that belonged to the Isle of Man Electricity board, I went to the efforts of phoning them and asking for their vehicle maintenance guys and it turns out that they had hit a brick wall finding an application for the Terrano too so they'd made their own and welded them in :doh

I'm speaking with a guy in Derby at the moment though who thinks that he may be able to fabricate me something for £30 a unit so hang fire, I want mine first :lol

If you get a SWB, the LWB roof bars can be fitted with a tiny bit of chopping from the angle grinder, allowing the whole length of the roof to be utilised, I did this on my old SWB Maverick but haven't got round to doing it on my Terrano yet, so many wants...................

going to pick this up monday afternoon so longs as its not a rust bucket. Its a bit expensive but the green color is great and it has all black interior so im sold. Fsh helps too.

Banshee. Ill take those foam levels that sounds ideal, how much are you looking for them?
The terranos near bacup ( I know what a funny name eh) so could maybe just come pick them up if not to far?

Im going to get a full rhino roof rack and tube carrier setup as its pretty cheap and I plan on keeping this.

Barrbeast- let me know when your going off roading next as im up for that.

Now whos best for insurance and what tyres do you guys recommend?

Im thinking yokohama geolander ATs? Or worth getting others?

Yeah nice looking truck, fixed front hubs too so no need to worry about the autolocking hubs. Front propshaft and drivershafts are driven by the wheels all the time on the later ones. This can cause wear on the uj's and cv's, the front drive shaft has a sliding joint that can wear too. This causes a hum and vibration that builds after about 40mph, easy to replace propshaft though. Happened on mine and at least one other member on here around similar time as mine.
Check the lcd display in speedo cluster, can lose segments. People have fixed those on here too with a simple soldering iron.

Hi Bud,

Welcome to the forum :thumbs

Just one word against the T2 - RUST !

Check, check and treble check underneath for rust - chassis, cross members (the one that holds up the radiator, seat belt anchor points, floor etc), the front wings are favourite to rust under the plastic trims and they are like rocking horse doo doo to get second hand, so plastic is an option. But I am sure that others will point out where to look. The link that you posted, that looks nice and tidy from above.

I see it has got the man steps... :naughty

I got mine as a family hand me down as he could not drive it any longer. I used to have a Toyota HiLux Surf which I loved, had to sell that along with my Honda Super Blackbird CBR1100xx when I went self employed :(

I nearly love my T2 as much as my old Surf :augie

Anyway enjoy your new ride what ever one you get, there are plenty of guys on here that will assist if you need to know anything :bow

Early 3.0 Trol, that's the danger age for the 3.0 Trols...

Not all of the early 3.0s were bad but a lot of them were as the engine design wasn't quite up to scratch (it was improved 2003). You could be fine as there are a few guys on here with early 3.0s but it is a risk bud :nenau

14-01-2016, 21:35
but a terrano isn't a troll !!!!

anyhow check for that rust... also I know I shouldn't say it but don't forget or rule out other makes of truck..

trouble with all of them is they are getting old and alot have issues of rust ect.. I have an early 3L patrol with one owner from new, has a tunit box fitted and pulls lovely I really love it, I don't drive it in the week as I'm only a mile ish from work but I really look forward to driving it at the weekends..

I would still entertain an early 3L troll with good history or a 2.8. I am aware of the risks of the early 3L but I still think they are a good truck and have a lot more torque than the 2.8. The 2.8 has its issues but when running right with a few minor mods that 6 cylinder is a lovely reliable drive..

I would still go for a troll but once you've had one its difficult to go for anything else, I would like to go for a later model such as a 07 plate but the tax puts me right off at £500 a year so have been looking at 55 plates just recently.

That looks like a very nice example matey, Sport spec too with the half leather :naughty Looks like it's got a few of the optional extras too including a spoiler and that front bull bar is a new one on me too, not seen one of those on a Mk4 before mate :thumb2

Things to check;

RUST - THE KILLER!!!!!!!!!! - If it's rust free, everything else can be replaced relatively cheaply if it goes wrong, so make this you're priority. Front bumper re-enforcer, get in the wheel arches with a good torch, check the seams where the road crud is forced into, sills, bang them and check for weakness or crunchyness, these like to rot inside out. All of the underneath of course, get up in all of the nooks and crannies. Engine bay, look around the battery area, on tops of wheel arches etc.

Check the oil levels etc, look for oil leaks from sump at front, seals like to go

Injector Pump - Check for any leaks, can be seen from drivers side through wheel arch if you pull the rubber arch liner away, dont break the clips!!!!

Fuel Lines - Run along the chassis all the way to the back of the tan, check for corrosion, a pin prick is all it takes for these cars to draw air in and run like crap, while chasing these back to the rear of the tank, check thee tank itself around the seams as I've seen tanks on 03 plates that have been literally pouring out.

Propshafts - Shake them side to side, check the spiders for play, and when test driving feel for any reverberation through the steering wheel or acceleration based knocking, this will be the Union Joints, cheap as chips and easy enough to replace but managed to get me some wonga knocked off mine when I brought it :naughty

Can't think of much more at the min, if I do I'll reply again :thumb2

Hey banshee.

Cheers for the advice, I have packed my torch and a screwdriver for looking about. I didnt even think about the fuel lines so good to know.

Yeah I like the wee bull bar not that it will do anything though.

How do I check the manual hubs work as ive only really test drove 3.0s the last 2.7 I drove I forgot to even check them.

It depends if it has them buddy

If they are manual, you'll have to physically get out and twist them from "free" to "lock" It looks unlikely that these are fitted as the alloys still have the Nissan wheels caps on so I'd say they are going to be fixed hubs

So just a case of chucking it in 4WD on some slippy stuff and make sure all 4 wheels are spinning. If they are fixed hubs, front prop will always be spinning so check the UJ's up front on that too :thumb2

But really liking it. Figured out these niggly bits on the way up the road which I will get onto tomorrow.

Also haggled him to £2000 so not bad.
