My recently aquired 52 plate Terrano seems to have a very sensitive/temperemental/or faulty?? central locking system:confused: It has a mind of its own and sometimes locks all doors randomly a few minutes (or quite a while) after setting off. :naughty I can readily unlock everything again with...

Hi Sweety. Thanks for your kind words but I didn't tell the whole story. Really , the only SIMPLE thing around here is ME. I had the rear door trim completely off tracing the pipework. Delved into the grommets from door to body etc. , never did find anything like a NRV. took pipe off rh bend...

Thanks for the support folks. Sweety---- Thanks for your offer to pick up non return valve---very kind of you ; however, the problem turned out to be a blocked 90degree bend behind the jet assembly. Resorted to blasting WD40 backwards through both jets and ( much to my surprise ) the washer...

Recently swapped my 1998 Terrano for a 2002 jobie. Nice clean motor with half the mileage and half the rattles:thumbs. Everything seems to work OK so far except for a couple of things. The rear window washer----can hear pump going , cleared jet with needle but still only the odd spot of liquid...

Very pleased you have made progress Hope you also have loud horn , full bright lights ,fast wipers etc

Can't understand this 'ere differential exploding stuff. :( I would think that because the diffs are limited slip they would automatically do a bit of "unwinding" before the big bang :? Perhaps the strain generated by driving on dry roads with a bit of wheel diameter difference etc winds the...

Don't give up yet barny. 8) Roscos diagnostic list looks like a good scheme, but only if you have a decent voltmeter. From the symptoms you describe it seems that your whole electrical system is trying to run at a reduced voltage. If this were so it would account for most of what you state in...

Hi. 1998 LWB Terrano auto with 124,000 plus. :smile: Doesn't use oil----(except for diesel of course :evil: ) Starts 1st time unless it has been ignored for a week or so in winter then battery seems to sulk and needs a bit of a charge. Reckon it gulps about 25mpg on mixed driving with the...

Hi harajack. Had a similar experience to this with another car some years ago and it turned out to be the little bleed valve in the thermostat which was blocked. It caused a vacuum in the top of the rad and the top hose. :o Still can't figure out why this should have been so: :roll: but a...

Hi Barney. I go along with the battery (or poss alternator) problem theory. About 18 months ago I fitted a cheap combo digital compass/ temp/voltage gadget ,ebay special from Hong Kong at about £15. 8) Surprisingly it all works pretty well but the most usefull part is the voltmeter which is...

My radio display slowly disappears as the winters creep on. Does it every year. On a long journey, when the car gets a good warm up, it starts to reappear. It hibernates like this every winter then restores itself during the warmer weather (nearly said SUMMER but we don't seem to get them...

My rear end is a bit of a hard ride too. Gets better with a full passenger load and full tank but I would prefer it to be a bit softer. Can't do much about it though---at least I don't think so. :roll: I sorted the front end out about 3 months ago and ( as H B says ) it made a big difference.

oil filter removal Hi rustygates. Have a look at my posting "engine oil filter welded in" Might be some help. Good luck.

Hello wildbri. I know there are losts of postings about sticky accelerator pedals , mine included. After wrestling with the same problem I found that ,after trying lots of "lubricants and soapy solutions" the best and most long lasting was a good spaying around the whole accelerator mechanism...

Good heavens--- my posting came out in triplicate and I'm not even a civil servant--sorry about that. Perhaps the staff can sort it out :oops: :oops: :oops:

Hi Paul. They are H4 on the round headlights on T2 Terrano and everything else seems about the same so it's a pretty safe bet yours will be H4. Hope this helps :smile:

Several postings now only accessible to special users----"curious and curiouser" as Alice would say. :wink:

Yes, OK at the price. See my previous post. I,m still happy with mine; they have been reliable.

Hi wedgenock. Sounds like a frustrating bummer. Sorry - I don't have same vehicle so can't help technically but have had similar experiences with other items on vehicles which were under guarantee and have found that it's vital to keep written, dated records of all that transpires so that when...

I am surprised that you have to put foot to floor to get 10psi boost Tim. Mine reaches it at about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle when on load; any more "gas" and I can see, on the guage, that the wastegate takes over. :o Regarding boost tap-off points; I inserted a tee piece into the rubber tube which...
