Hello chaps

Hello there guys, new to this forum and to Terrano ownership, the site has already been a great help.

I bought this Terrano as a non-runner, it struggled to start or tick over, barely revved over 1500rpm and the slightest bit of effort caused it to stall. There was evidence of filter changing and MAF tampering, but surprisingly the filter in the banjo bolt was undisturbed and turned out to be the culprit... a quick clean out with some petrol and a small pick and the old girl was soon running sweetly.

It seems to be suffering from many of the common issues described on here, and a few more besides, but I'm gradually working my way through the niggly bits. Fortunately, the car is very solid underneath, and the sills, wings, inner wings, chassis, etc., are all excellent.

Anyway, I'm not into green laning like many of you chaps, the Terrano was bought primarily as a tow/winter car for the other half. However, I'm an electrician by trade and I do have a bit of experience with car electrics and diagnostics, and also the mucky bits too, so hopefully I might be of some help now and again.
