Newby from Grimsby

Hello folks, I registered today when I was at work, just having a look around as I am thinking of buying a Terrano 2.7.
I have had 8 Land Rovers including 3 Discoverys and am fed up with there poor reliability post 96.
I have looked long and hard at most makes of 4x4's within my limited budget and after reading reviews I have settled on the Terrano. As soon as I sell my car I will be hunting the perfect Terrano

Names Jon by the way

Hi Jon and welcome aboard. Well I love my T2 and had it for 11 years but it's suffering from the tin worm these days but it's 17 years old.

All cars have their faults but have to say T2's are pretty reasonable. One issue they suffer is either misuse or lack of use of the 4wd system. The front auto hubs seem to cause issues when abused. T2's should not be used in 4wd on hard surfaces. Stacks of advice on here and a host of How to guides too.
