Hello!

been a few years but I am back. Left the club a long time ago due to various reasons including a change of car. Sold my Terrano to a friend who i think is a member on here (Pete), and bought an XTrail. The XTrail has been really fantastic to be honest, the only issues i have had are brakes which by all accounts is common. Goes through the calipers! Been a very reliable car and I still have it, but i bought back my old Terrano from Pete so here I am again!

Hope you are all well, im going to lurk about to see who is still here and who is new.

Hey Clive. Welcome back fella.

Hope you're enjoying your new/old truck :thumb2

[clivvy]

hiya Pete, Ive been meaning to ring you but works been stupid since i got back off holiday, will ring you next week ;)

trucks great - bit smelly this week for some reason so Im going to fit a new cabin filter in case its that. Also my remote fob stopped working!

So when i got it off you, I was able to program the fob, no problems. Then that failed so I bought a used one off ebay, again programmed fine. That worked fine right up until today, and now i cant reprogram. Its odd because the one i bought was fully refurbed - new switches and tinned connections.

Other than that and the odd clunk its fantastic and oh my god that aircon really is bonkers i cant get over how cold it is ;)

It's not a place you can give up easily is it?:lol
I haven't done anything to mine for the last 12 months but still keep an eye on what's happening on here.:thumb2
Welcome back

[clivvy]

Thanks Ian,

This is very true. I've missed this particular forum a lot!

[jims-terrano]

Welcome back clivvy mate, great to see you back. Will have to meet up for a catchup mate. You’ve not see my 3 Litre.

Smelly :nenau I changed the cabin filter a little over two years ago, I don't know what the time scale is, I guess it depends on a few factors.
Maybe it's that haddock I left under the seat :augie :lol

[clivvy]

dunno yet, im going to get a new filter as the old one is a bit dirty (supposed to be changed yearly but its a forgotten service item). Not sure what the smell is, its odd, didnt smell before. Im going to look for leaks because it might be water getting in somewhere into carpet

[jims-terrano]

Seals might of dried out over the summer heat wave.

Good point.
Give it the hose treatment :thumb2

My sunroof leaked, so I Tiger Sealed it. I have a dislike of them anyway. I use its power supply for the reverse camera :thumb2

[jims-terrano]

One of my Terranos didn’t have a sunroof, pity the car was a dog. Got px’d for the skoda but it’s still mot’d. I’d probably fixed most of the mechanical issues but I’d seen the boot floor and it’s bubbling rot when it was 9 years old.

Welcome back, mind seen you on fb so its not so long really.

Like Jim, I'm on a 3L as well now. Always liked your 2.7 though
and just didn't have the funds for it when you sold it.

Rich.

[clivvy]

hi!

yh i would like a 3.0 but this Terrano should be fine for at least a year or two - im not fussing over it though as its intended to be a workhorse/7 seater for when i take my friends and their kids out and so far its doing that very well!

[macabethiel]

TBH did not realise you had been absent that long.
I am still here - we sold our much loved Terrano 2.7 TDi Auto r3mR had a brief fling with a Santa Fe that had a bit of a mishap near the local Aldi & was a write off.
Always wanted an Auto Patrol but when we looked they were either Starship mileage or out of our budget.
Presently have a Jeep WJ (mime) & a WK (Gaffers) series Grand Cherokees, not perfect but we have got used to the drawbacks.

[clivvy]

ah yes i remember popping in at some point and seeing you had got some Jeeps. I like the Cherokee, although ive never owned one. Always felt comfy to me and big.

Son-in-law calls them American Barges !
