My terrano and xtrail

[GregT]

Bugger... Lost all drive...

I was towing the trailer.. lost all drive. Had to deliver the ride on mower that was on the trailer wich meant driving fair distance on the main road.. luckily it was quiet.

Wait for my mum to come in the xtrail. Unhitch trailer, tow Terry forward. Hitch trailer to xtrail, roll Terry back. Line up trailer then winch my self on... bloody typical.

Poor xtrail was not meant for such abuse.

Anyway any ideas on loss of drive? No indication anything was Amiss until it failed.

I guess so, though had not indication, no juddering or anything pulling away. Had some heavy loads on lately as well.

Luckily I live right next door to a garage and they aren't exactly busy at the moment. Would have a crack myself but just to busy at the moment.

Might aswell get them to throw a 3 litre one in. Straight swap?

Yes Sir!!!!







Just watch out for a runout lip on your flywheel, everyone warned me that because the overall diameter of the 3.0 clutch is larger than that of the 2.7, depending on how worn the surface of the flywheel is on the back of the engine, you may end up with a lip, this by all accounts has to be resolved if the case before the 3.0 clutch could be fitted, luckily mine was good

Cheers Banshee! Will report back when I know more. Poor old xtrail will have to pick up some slack for the time being.

No sweat.

None on ebay at the minute but I've got paperwork for mine if you want to use the same guys I did.

The entire strip down and rebuild has been documented and pictured twice now in my project thread if your guys get stuck or you are curious

You've checked the obvious I suppose. Tried all gears in hi and low range and that the 4wd stick wasn't in neutral

Pondering with the idea of lifting it now....

Your terry looks great.
I woke up one morning to be greeted by a lopsided and cracked front bumper where some one had hit my terry whilst parked and driven off. And have since contemplated fitting an aftermarket winchbumper but Worry about how it would effect my insurance and if I was in an accident of hurting a pedestrian. In the 27 of driving I have never run anyone over although as a 14 year old was run over.

Did modifying your car put your insurance up much?

I know a man for that
