Thanks very much for the rapid reply. I'm not sure what a maf is or where to find it? and there is no engine management light displayed if that's what you mean by a mil light? I can check the primer on the pump tomorrow. Apologies for my basic technical knowledge, there's a lot to learn!

Hello folks, I thought I try posting on here to see if anyone could help find a solution to my Terrano engine problem. When the engine is used at higher revs i.e. long steep hills, or its happened once whilst overtaking with a trailer on the engine looses all of its power. It doesn't stall but...

Sadly I dont have any pictures:( I was pushed for time and didn't do any picture taking. What I can do is post a picture up for 4x4 gav and Fez because you want to be sure thats where your problem is. The wear on mine was obvious (I could hold the UJ with the prop shaft in place and move it...

Right, Universal joint is now changed! Thank you all very much for your help and advice without it would have been much more difficult. If any one is thinking of replacing the UJ in their rear prop shaft heres a brief description of how it went. 1) I reversed the car up some ramps for more...

I recon my UJ is well and truly done for, so it must have started going at about christmas! stood up to some heavy towing at the weekend mind. Definately time for some tlc. Thanks for confirming the prop slides out Makeitfit saved me some head scratchin time;)

Just had a second look underneath and the play in the resr UJ is worse than I remembered. It looks like the prop shaft exit is above the oil level so hopefully i'll be able to keep the oil in as it has only just been changed as has the oil in the rear LSD. I'm still unsure how to detach the...

Thats great advice thanks very much, I think I need to remove and replace the UJ at least then if my problems still exist I can rule it out and continue the search. Thanks for all your replies Cheers John

Hi Folks, Just a quick question about the correct gearbox oil for a 2003 terrano 2 TDI manual, I have been advised from one motor parts supplier it should be EP80w90 Gear oil. Another motor spares supplier suggested some other very expensive (£10 per Litre) stuff? Any clarification greatly...

Thanks very much too you all for such a warm welcome and excellent advice. I'll have to leave my spanners in the tool box for a few more days at least, but will look forward to getting started in the new year. All the best and a happy new year John

Hi Jim, thanks loads for your know how, good to know its a TDI. As for service history its been serviced every 9k there abouts but theres no mention of diff oil being changed so I'll certainly get onto that. I'll check out the earth for the dials. Do you know if electrical problems fairly...
