We had 2 Terrano's while I waited for my plate change and have owned T's for 10 years now, the 2.7 was used every day as our main car, but now the 3.0 is used more for caravan duties and any snow we get. I do like the high seating position and they are becoming quite rare now, you don't see very many out on the roads now

Rick what lead did you manage to hook up to the ecutalk as I am guessing being a 2003 it has the OBD connector that isn't if you know what I mean.

I guess I am one as well, as most will have already seen I sold my old '95 Mistral and regretted it straight away, its back now and today I have been out and about in it today, mostly with a silly grin on my face !

My truck gets used for work, I am a travelling showman operating an old time childrens funfair at events in Sussex and sometimes into Kent.

The truck can and does tow a variety of trailers including a small 7 foot long single axle one, 2 twin axle trailers with rides on them, another twin axle games trailer, and two caravans, the biggest one is 25 feet long. There is one trailer that I will not pull very far on the road though, the candy floss/ pick'n'mix sweet trailer weighs in at a shade over 2 tonnes, is 8 feet wide and 10 feet high and is a bit of a handfull, a bit much for an old autobox !

That is right it has not got pin 7, I cut a 14 pin socket from a scrapper stripped and tined the 4 wires needed and stuck em in the socket on the car, if you want the pin outs I can get em for you, Rick
