Hello, to a soon to be terrano owner

Hello to all.

My wife and I are about to purchase our first Terrano 2 in the next few days.

Its a 2005 lwb 2.7l in grey. After looking for a while for a big car for the family we have looked at so many. We found one that suits our requirements.

It's not perfect and does in fact have a crack in the front bumper where the current owner was bashed by another car.

I have been trying to source a replacement front bumper but they are proving difficult to find.

Would anyone have any pointers on places to look (checked ebay)

Or the possibility of repairing it, is that advisable?

Anyway thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome. You've come to the right place for terrano/maverick information.

Hopefully you've had a good look under the truck for rot. They are all known to suffer but if looked after, can be relatively trouble free.
There are also members fortunate enough to have more than one truck for spares, so finding a replacement bumper shouldn't be a problem

Solarman is down on the south coast and will sort p+p. He is a trusted seller and we do have an agreement that we pay before he posts.
If you do purchase your truck I would also recommend paying the £10 annual membership so you can have access to all content on the site.
All the best.

Thanks for the advice. And will keep in mind about the membership too.
Once we get it will see about the bumper and if we can live with it or not.

Yo!
Get your £10.00 paid in so you can then access a hold world of advice, banter and (what some people call) jokes.
