My Terrano

Southampton Lad · 20-02-2016, 15:43

Okay, I'm hoping this'll work! Some pics of my Terrano II 2.7 tdi. They're the seller pics from the ad but his drive is bigger and prettier than mine...and it's presently raining so I'm not going out to take any new ones just yet.

So, if I've followed the sticky correctly, here's Terry:

OKay, cool, looks like that worked, so here's another

One of the seats is a bit ratty, but got some smart seat covers coming as a temporary measure...

Just one more, so as to not bore everyone. I'm happy with him. There's a bit of welding underneath to get done I think, but it's not structural and there's the damp carpet which might be linked. Other than that I think he's reasonably okay...fingers crossed! If not, seems like there's some really nice and helpful folks in these parts to help with advice.

Thanks, Don, hope so, but they're always nice and shiny when you first get them, aren't they?

I've just looked at your flikr photos of your camping conversion- that is absolutely awesome, buddy!

Awesome matey

If you mean the Sticky I created for Photobucket I'm glad it worked for you

Looking forward to many more pics of the great work you're going to put into it

Any problems or questions just fire away

Cheers, Banshee!

Jim, this is the baby:

Obviously if you shop around you'll well beat that RRP. Mine was an ex-display model from car audio direct that I got for £89. I'm well chuffed with it. Downloaded a free app (songpal) that allows you to control your head unit with your phone. It's sorcery I tell thee!

Oh, and I've changed the display colour and surround to a very fetching green that matches the rest of the car.

Gotta get some new speakers now to do it justice. I've popped the back door trims off and half the fronts (the screws holding the door pull handle are so sheared you can't get a phillips to bite at all...so unless anyone's got any tips it's going to have to be an assistant carefully holding the lower door trims back and me with a stubby screwdriver and micro surgery) to reveal 6x4 ovals all round. I'm assuming I measure from screw to screw, rather than the outer edge of the speaker? Can anyone confirm this?

Hopefully popping the rear door trims off has solved a mystery too. One of the windows wasn't working and I can see that it's not plugged in...but knowing my luck someone investigated it in the past, couldn't fix it and just didn't bother connecting it again. I'll postpone the excitement/disappointment of finding out until I put the new speakers in and refit the trims.

Hi, I had the door cards off mine ( 2000 reg ) a while back, and found the same problem with the handle pulls. Turns out mine was a hex head bolt with Philips slot so managed to slot a small socket in there and undo them that way. Worked a treat as once out the Philips slots were obviously knackered.

You, Sir, are a scholar and a gentleman! I've just shone a torch up there and, yep, they are indeed hex head bolts there. I would never in a million years thought of that, so thanks again.

Wow, I'm loving this place- so much knowledge and know how
