Merseyside, new to terrano, not to laning

ocelot · 04-06-2009, 20:45

hi all,
Just got a terrano, interesting car, different to my ancient rangie V8.... fuel costs about the same tho

I'm a member of CRAG and have been for a few years so not new to the laning scene. Occasionally to be found in the highways and byways of north wales so if any of you are out and about, say hi....

New to the terrano tho, seems a good machine, any hints on tyres etc very welcome.
Getting quotes for the insurance, figures are really high, any suggestions?
Legal please!

Dave

Try NFU.

They cover mine complete with mods and cover for 4x4 Response work, full business cover etc an its a lot cheaper than Adrian Flux and Sureterm wanted on limited mileage SDP policies.

Must admit though when I hear some of my mates who have Landies insurance premiums these Japs are expensive to insure.

As for other tips.

Change oil in rear LSD - should be 80w/90 API GL5 LSD oil - often gets wrong stuff put in.

Grease steering stops, or you'll ne on in a few days asking what the noise is - everyone else does.

Sit back and enjoy.

Re-insurance. I don't have any mods or anything on mine but I went with the AA. Took out insurance with them and seperate breakdown cover (with discount factored in) so fully comp with breakdown cover and home start (I'm a mechanical numpty don't forget..

) I'm paying £339 per year. Previously for Peugeot 306 1.4 fully comp with breakdown cover (Green Flag) I was paying £434..!

Work that one out.?

I got my insuranced through confused.com ended up with autotrader ins.

Even with my er distinguished record

and declared mods it's £264 fully comp, work that one out

No legal cover cause it's crap, but got it with RAC anyway

Parked anywhere, and includes work etc
