I think both are good, I have the 3.0 and it never feels stressed, load the car up to the roof and it makes no difference to performance or economy, I guess a fully loaded terrano still weighs less than the patrol so that may be why! I get great mpg from the 3.0, done 75k miles with no problems...

hiya chaps, an update on the mpg figures... following the return journey I ran the tank all the way down till the light came on with local driving, then just went and re-brimmed it, total miles for the tank 489.6 So total miles 489.6 Of which about 270 miles on motorways, 210 miles around...

I just popped the figures into www.mpg-calculator.co.uk Figures are definitely genuine, I'm doing a repeat test on the way back, though I had 80ish miles of local driving round Anglesey before the return journey so expect a bit less mpg. On the way up I passed the tank half full marker at 260...

Hiya guys, thought I'd do a real life mpg test this week, rather than reading figures quoted at a steady 50mph! Brimmed the tank, Drove from high Wycombe to Birmingham, couple of local journeys, then Birmingham to Anglesey.Brimmed the tank again. Sat at 70mph on motorways and at the speed...

cheers, yeh never thought of it like that! I'd been tryiong to think of what i could use to try and ease it out and i guess the answer was right in front of me! another cd! you may have just saved my stereo from the screwdriver! will let u know how i get on! Matt

Hi all, Need a bit of advice regarding my terrano stereo: The CD has got stuck and won't eject, so I reckon ive got a couple of options: 1. Spend hours trying to get the CD out and probably wreck the stereo in the process 2. Swap the unit for another terrano unit (advice on what sort of keys and...

just renewed my membership for another year, had to leave it a couple of months whilst funds were a bit tight, but nice to be back!

Cheers to Eboy for sorting me out with a full sevice, the car's running sweetly! For other member's benefit, the £11 filter kit from Milner's seemed to slot in perfectly! would definitely recommend at that price!

aaahhh yes I'd forgotten about the engine mounts! :doh:doh cheers for the advice, I should be able to get it sorted now! matt

can't take the battery back cos I bought it online! big problem returning batteres to nline vendors because couriers don't like to take them (chap had work had big problems when he did the same) Excellent advice to add a second earth strap! I'll try and do that tomorrow! cheers! :clap still...

Hi guys, Need people's opinions on something..... To cut a long story short, I bought a new battery cos the old one was dud (and too bloody small in the 1st place). Positioned it in the space no problems, tried to connect up the cables and they wouldn't reach, terminals were in a different...

I can only talk from personal experience, but for me I was not covered to drive any other car 3rd party even though I had my own fully comp insurance until I turned 25, at which point I gained the privilege. (real pain the arse meaning you have to be a named driver at huge annual expense just to...

Cheers Eboy, that's an amazing offer! I'll be in touch by PM, if you know the list of fluids and parts needed just let me know and I'll get them, if not, I'll get all the info from the handbook etc. Also, let me know how much for the labour! I'll check the date for the MOT and let you know, I...

Good advice, I may just do that. Looking down the list now...

MPG that is!

The missus runs a little 1.3ltr V-Reg corolla. She does 500+ miles a week and it's never broken down once and I worked out the other day it was returning 55-60 on her daily commute!

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good garage to get an MOT (and later a service done)? I'm now based near High Wycombe and it's too far to travel back to the ones I knew back home so I'm looking for a recommendation! Looking at having the oil replaced in the diffs at some point so don't want...

cheers guys, I will do just that! I'm thinking I'll go down the soldered joints route and if I can I'll cut and splice the cables and slot a bit of heatshrink over for a nice glued sealed finish. That's the lighting socket sorted, might not bother with the 12v secod socket yet, but can anyone...

Hi guys, anyone wired their own towbar in on a post 2000 t2? The wiring diagram in the downloads states upto 2000 models and I'm wondering is the rear loom the same for my 2003 t2? any advice gratefully recieved as always! matt

I managed to get Nexen budget tyres in that size for £75 a pop and they seem really good, they're road biased though, I wouldn't be able to predict performance off-road!
