Hi,
My names kay,i get my terrano II 2.7td this week

. My toyota estima is 18 years old and dying a slow death. To be practical my husband has found me a decent tow car as we like to go away in our old caravan at least twice a year,the old gal hasn't got the guts to pull any more.
New car drives really well,makes my old car feel like a slug on salt ! Our mate will be dropping it off one evening this week and taking our old gal at the same time.
Was a member of the estima forum as my old gal was an import,i found them invaluable for advice etc..hoping to find the same here. I admit,although i am a mechanic,i know absoloutly nothing about the terrano...but i'm making it my job to !!
Hope i spend many happy years here !!!! Once i have my car i shall no doubt become a paid up member,well worth it...

Why thank you for the welcome.....

Wales- Eastbourne,Ringmer.....weather is the same...isn't it ?

Just more sheep in Wales....

I'm sure i'll love it here and yes a female mechanic...but i now work in our local college ,i run and look after both MV workshops...do the red file (yawn),health & safety (double yawn) and i'm the app' first aider which isnt very exciting..usually students spraying brake cleaner in their eyes...doh !
I'm really excited,sad i know,i had a drive of my new motor on Sat morning and i couldn't believe how easy she was to drive light steering,accelerates like a fast petrol engine rather than a diesel. To top it all it's manual !!! Must remember to use that clutch pedal thingy.......yay !!!
