Ow do there! I'm Crow and i'm from Cambridge way, got miself a Terrano 2.7 97 Manual back in November. Absolutely love it other than the fact it has been off the road since 28th November when i get recovered back from London. Head gasket as i though but then discovered two cracks in the head,cue top end rebuild by a "Friend" who is ex AA. It has gone from bad to worse, having to take the Garage near Haverhill to court over it as they would not respond, the fella i got to do the job doing nothing when he said he would (getting the head tested so i can build the case against them, rebuilding the starter, having it done by christmas, etc.......), so i sacked him off after he rebuilt the starter eventually and then promptly burnt it out completely with cranking it over too much (voltage drop, amp increase!). My partner asked him what had caused it to burn out, to which he said "well, i dunno!" (Kt knew full well what causes it to die

.
So here i am with a hat full of fault codes and hope diminishing with the midwinter daylight................ A night in with t'laptop it is then....
Thank you for letting me join yer wonderful group, sorry for not posting a pic of Terrano-sore-arse, i just can't bare to she her sooooooooo sad!
May yer Diesel be bug-less and yer filters flow freely, Crow
