dad just got me a terrano 2;7 diesel swb van 2002,

reluctantly ( he is a discovery man )just loves having to repair it all the time!!

however a friend of his, had one of these for years and he swore by it So here I am learning about Bianca ( she,s white )it will be great for taking my straw/hay to the other love of my life, Yeah I'm,e a horsy person and hopefully doing a bit of greenlining/off road when I get her sorted for this. Any hints idea,s how to make her even better

Welcome aboard. Lots of ideas on here. Have a look through people’s project threads. I’d start by giving it a good old service. If it’s 2.7 try to get mineral oil rather than semi as it definitely made a difference to mine. Replace rear diff oil with proper limited slip diff oil. Then start checking and cleaning any rust and then waxoyl it. Then I’d be thinking about mods. Main thing is enjoying the truck

Welcome to the club!

My girl is a swb 4.2 Patrol but I do a lot of greenlaning trips with a swb terrano van (and others!).

I'm based in Dundee so not too far. What horses have you got? We have a few Clydesdales

hi just saw all the threads and good welcome wishes thanks for the nice welcome guys/girls too

I have lovely tempered point to point brute called tek who has a mind of his own when around other horses

I grew up on a farm in Yorkshire nr Whitby and loved to see and watch the clydesdales and the percherones at work in the fields, spellings isn't my best

but do love the countryside to hence the greenlining bug think ill,e take on board a good service and then some longer springs/shocks.

Welcome aboard

I too drive a heavily modified SWB Van as you'll see in my sig below, if you're after any ideas for modding, click the blue link saying "Porject Thread" below and get the kettle on and that should keep you entertained for a few hours

I have to ask though, you said thanks for the wishes "guys & girls too", I'm sorry to let you know but Barrbeast is actually a male, it's hard to tell sometimes, but you'll get used to him after a few off road meets

I'll be wearing a wig made from Banshee's beard after I've ripped it out by the roots
