Regarding diesel quality. For years I've been habitualy using Sainsburys. Cheapest around here. Got very low one evening and Sainsburys was closed. Called at local Esso station and filled up. 1p/ltr dearer than Sainsburys at the time.:nenau After a few miles motoring I realised the old girl...

Yesterday---sun shining---spanners out---set about fitting reversing sensors to beloved T2. Decided a hole and grommet was needed in n/s corner of boot floor. Started with pilot hole--hard going--changed drill bit for sharper one ---no better :nenau After several attempts with upmarket twist...

Sun came out. Went 20 miles with better-half and picknick (no grog--- duty driver) to watch Grandson play cricket. Parked Terrano at side of cricket field , watched him play and simultaneously listened to local footy on car radio,(Shrewsbury now going to Wembly)--great stuff---, nearby fellow...

Thought I had removed all rubber sleeves until I saw the very helpful pics posted by DAVED on 1st April ( no fooling, they are very usefull pics---- thanks daved ). Had a closer butchers at my bus and found the similar rubber sleeve. Removed it and found a mass of oxidisation underneath. Cleaned...

Had the same problem with horizontal pipe over rad. Corroded and pinholed under rubber sleeves. ( New pipe from Nissan priced at £69.00 plus.:eek::eek:) It had passed a vacuum test ok but there was still a leak. I presume the vacuum pulls the rubber tight against the pinhole :doh Made up a...

Hey :o----that's just what my Missus says----(but she uses less colourful language) You're both right though :D

Front hubs with modified cap fitted over manual hub.

Front hubs again. Have done over a hundred miles since fitting new hubs and I'm surprised how slowly the fuel guage has gone down. Could be over 10% improvement time will tell. Definately a much "looser" ride and a bit less noise from down under. Did a mod to fit refashioned hub caps. Looks...

Gone manual after all. Update about front hubs. After long and hard deliberations , thought I could adapt a pair of old autos. A very kind and helpfull eBayer sent me a pair of standard auto hubs (sale or return) to try out. All would have been good except for the studs ------ could I get them...

When I was looking around ebay, motor mags etc to find a replacement for my ageing Terrano it soon became clear that I had to really GO TO SEE the cars. Some of the adverts and ebay inserts were done by office staff who simply copied out all they could find in the handbook regarding equipment...

Thanks for all your contacts folks---good stuff---please keep 'em comming; they help what's left of my little bit of grey matter no end :D Got to take a break tomorrow. Youngest grandson (4) is determined to teach me how to play rugby :o:o:o:augie:augie

Hi EXTREME-4x4. Thanks for your pointer ; damned good logic :thumbs Puzzling point is that the flange is secured by nuts onto six shortish studs fixed into the hub.:doh The freewheel units and manual lockers are secured by six long allen key type bolts going into female threads on the...

Milners are quick:clap Fast replies to my emails. What's more they say that their manual hubs are a direct replacement for auto OR flanged hubs :thumb2 Just the news I wanted. Bit puzzled about the fact that they say you have to drive backwards for a couple or three metres to ensure MANUAL...

zippy 656----shouldn't it be "a wife and three kids" -sooory ----didn't mean to be personal

Hi there Terranosaurus. I have'nt made any headway with Milners yet. Suppose they would know the answer if anyone does:nenau Will send you a PM or email about the rest of your post. Thanks for getting in touch.:)

Picking your collective brains again:augie My Terrano has the flange type non-freewheeling front hubs. Looking at possibility of obtaining manual locking hubs with a view to reducing fuel consumption. Has anyone done this to a flange drive type. Couln't find anything on a quick search. Have...

Zippy ; what is "it" ?---on second thoughts please don't answer that.:o Forgot to mention; apart from the soaking as described, I stuck a couple of self adhesive pads at each door microswitch striker "flat" just to make sure they were all being activated. The back door seems to have a large...

Update on central locking problems. Being a lazy ----- I decided to try the easiest way first. Squirted WD40 into any orrifice anywhere near a lock or door catch.:augie (Lots of little spaces to insert the little plastic tube). Followed this up with an equally liberal blasting with Silicon...

Thanks for all the helpful pointers everyone. I now know what sort of thinks can affect the system and will start ferriting when the rain eases off.
