Hello everyone, just joined the club. My name is Joe McGinniss. Presently working in Peru with my new Peruvian wife. We are involved in running a soup kitchen for poorer children in the high Andes in Peru ( Huaraz altitude 3000metres ). To assist us in reaching the areas in the high mountains we bought a second hand Terrano R3m-V 1999 model. When we purchased in the coastal area of Peru ( Trujillo ), the machine seemed fine. But now we are at high altitude the motor does not have any power, very slow and laborious, with very hot engine ( coolant boils occasionaly when climbing in low gear). The mechanics here tell us that the motor has a fault but do not know what. The car is an import from Japan. For the last 2 weeks I have not been using the car and now the battery is flat and requires recharge. Help, help, help please.
