Just popped in to see who is still active on here - I still have my Jeep GC WK that indirectly replaced our old Terrano r3mR - still have fond memories of the Terrano.

Evening, I’m still here plodding on.
Hope you’re well.
Not as frequently as I would like. My depression means that most days I lose interest after 1700 and just read the papers on my Tablet. I still have Terri, she is having some welding done for the MOT.
Just returned from a campsite at Cirencester as luck would have it the mid weekend had the Cotswold Show on the Parkland next to the site, spent an interesting 15 mins watching ferret racing:thumb2
Highly recommend the Club site.

Hi Jim,
I still have contact with a member from Sheffield who also moved to a Grand Cherokee.
I did enjoy the odd read of rustygates trip to Alaska I did wonder if Briggie is still alive & kicking?
Cheers Ted

Briggie is still kicking around but not sure how often he checks in here anymore though.

Wow that’s half as much as my Mav did and I thought that was small, less visits to the filling station :thumb2
That’s something I am going to price up tomorrow is tyres.

Thanks for the greetings.
Due to general old age I have stopped even doing oil changes on our motors I use a local 'old school' garage in the village. Like others here my mileage has dropped now to around 2k a year.
I've not given up mechanical work completely just scaled down to motorcycles over the last couple of years. Bought a Honda CB400/4 super sport at the start of lock down in 2021, it had not run for 12 years so did a nut & bolt restoration. Only done around 250 miles on her since May 2022 so not run in yet. Bike is really too small for me hence I bought a slightly taller bike a CB500 to restore.
Currently repeating a similar project on the 50 year old CB500 K1 keeps me out of the pub at lunchtime.

Sounds like you’re enjoying the motorcycle life. Certainly a lot lighter than a large vehicle. I know only too well how heavy they are, even lifting a wheel onto the carrier on the tailgate and of course what used to be simple putting a wheel on the wheel studs.

Great to see you popping by Zippy, we’re both the same now without Terranos.

Have you seen how much Patrols are up for sale for, the money seems totally bonkers.

I keep looking for a 3 door but the money wanted is silly or so much rust

There’s a couple on eBay at the moment but no doubt the rot will be well established.
I think you’ll be very lucky to find a Terrano without rust problems in this country mate.
Terrano’s are dam great vehicles and I love them but my days of ownership are over. I would love another 4wd but very much doubt I will ever get one as they tend to be too big and heavy for me now hence why I let the Maverick go.

Just popped in and saw this thread. I sold my Terrano a good few years ago now and I have checked the mot database and it hasn’t been mot’d since 2021 . It was a 07 2.7 which I assume was a late registered 06.
Hi all, I'm still using my Terrano. Passed MOT last year with no advisories and again this Monday with just minor Nearside Front Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint dust cover severely deteriorated. Not surprising since it's the original ones on there and 99,000 miles on and off road. Actually have a pair that I've had for four or five years, so it's done well. It's only doing a few 1000 miles a year now though and keeping it to forestry tracks off road, mind you some of the roads round here are worse than the tracks.
HELLO ALL !!
..... I'm still around ( stuck in the naughty corner ! )
.... Great to see the old bodge it group are still about !!!
...Terrano has gone and I've gone over to the dark side ( Discovery 3 ) !!!
....any-one seen my wallet ... its the one with no money in it !!!
CHEERS ALL !!!

guess that is me in Steel City.
Sorry not not been on in months, just popped in as getting admin alerts, Rick had reported some spam posts. I removed a couple few days ago but this time gave the scammer a life time ban.
Not a Nissan since August 2019, the Jeep WK still quite a beast and far more suited to our 8 foot wide caravan, that said my old pal Plank towed plenty of big tin tents with Terranos.
Maybe one day will have an xtrail or navara.
Best wishes to all non spammers.😉

Life is still slow.
If any one want to drop by your more than welcome.
Banshee, who's the big boss Still Bat?
Yes, although not as big as I used to be :D
Only took me 9 months to reply.
Lots of tumbleweed around here these days.
I'm lurking and will be regularly posting again soon :sly
Got a 2 year old lad now so Terrano and Patrol have been on hold and sat looking very sorry for themselves on the driveway.
I have however got my bike license now and own a DRZ400E which I've been having some fun on, but not without it's problems. Engine blew up due to the previous owner damaging the plastic oil pump idler gear and the con road bearing let go.
Was cheaper to buy a big bore kit than an OEM Suzuki cylinder so it's now 434cc not 398cc :naughty
