    Dashboard warning light

    And all that speedy response from a Lazy-Ferret.

    Dashboard warning light

    It was a bit too stiff to unscrew in situ. I undid the 2 bolts that hold the filter in place, turned it around a bit, took away the exit hose for the water then I could unscrew the white thingy at the bottom of the filter. I noticed yesterday while driving that the engine stuttered under...

    That's (relatively) good news, thanks Lazy-Ferret. Remembered for life now.

    What's this one about? I have searched for answers but nothing forthcoming.

    Manual locking hub query

    There are a lot of ifs there. I don't know what's the most likely thing to break down on a Terrano in the middle of nowhere, all alone on a mountain. But if I was to bring a spare part to cover the top 20 things that are more likely to break down than a hub and cripple the journey, then I would...

    Manual locking hub query

    I had a good look at the auto hubs on my old terrano and they were fine, lubricated with just enough soft grease. I had never opened them before while the jeep was in use. Probably they had never been opened in the life of the jeep and were well utilised over the lifetime. Should the auto hub...

    Manual locking hub query

    Manual hubs are now in position with a nice chrome sheen. I won't have a need now for that plastic hub cup that I didn't have. The steering is so much lighter. These Warn hubs look to be well constructed. http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7911&stc=1&d=1467282097

    Lovely stuff Banshee, hubs were alien territory for me. The hubs come with this set up plus some bolts. but i have God knows how many boxes of assorted hex bolts...

    Manual locking hub query

    After reading the front hub sticky thread I finally had a small eureka moment and realised that ugly looking thing on my 2002 terrano was not an auto hub but something else, a permanent locked hub. I'll be having the outer cv joints replaced on tuesday. I happen to have manual locking hubs...

    CV Joint purchase

    Thanks for your very generous offer solarman. I had already bought the one referred in the first post but I'll have a look at the condition of the cv boot on the other side and I'll let you know, one way or the other.

    A returnee's tale

    the steering set up looks standard to me, bits are always breaking even in unmodified vehicles. Both tie rod ends look like a rat drowned in oil and I will be replacing them soon. I beefed up the patriotic level a bit today. A big day for the Iceland football team and the nation...

    A returnee's tale

    What about made in China? I wasn't looking for a modified Terrano but it feels okay to be sitting up there with the big boys and I like the look. Here when a Terrano has been modified with flares it usually means the fenders will be in good shape due to better sealing between the metal and the...

    A returnee's tale

    The Terrano was lifted a few inches and wider arches were fitted to cater for wider and bigger tires. The dog is waiting patiently for me to open the door and let her in. Photography is not her thing.

    CV Joint purchase

    I am hunting for a new CV joint. Counting the teeth wheel side, I get 27. Would the best guess be for this one adv on Mlners offroad? http://www.milneroffroad.com/nissan/terrano/r20-2-7td-1993-1999-maverick-1993-terrano-1/r20-axle-frontrear-1/r20-axle-front-cv-joint-outer-1 with 32 teeth on...

    A returnee's tale

    Not rust free but very decent where usually rust is an issue, fenders and sills. This is how it looked when I bought it http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7869&stc=1&d=1465858742

    A returnee's tale

    KMs are in the sig, 145,000km. One of the benefits about the independent rental company owning it was that they did all their own mechanical and lubrication servicing, they put in place a thorough rust/stone chip black protection layer all over the underneath and it still smells toxic fresh...

    A returnee's tale

    I can do that on monday or tuesday. I can also do a clear midnight sun photo in a week or so :) My newly purchased Terrano was owned by a car rental for a good few years. They had a decent fleet of a dozen Terranos. This one was lifted 2" or 3" and was on 33" wheels, nice fat ones which rubbed a...

    A returnee's tale

    It has turned out to be a prolonged hiatus for me (2 or 3 years) instead of golden years retirement. Everything here is just as it was when I left, same messages in the inbox, avatar, profile preserved, not even any tumbleweed blowing about. I've got another Terrano now. I crashed my last one on...

    Coolant Leak, unknown source.

    It was the temp sensor that goes to the (what passes for a) computer. I can be resourceful (aka cheap) and I did contemplate a scheme to reconnect the 2 protruding fragile wires from the broken sensor to the cable thingamyjig. but as I was on a roll and getting used to the professional standard...
