That's it, my Terrano has found a new home :(:( hopefully to rise again :thumb2 Now I'm 4x4 hunting again :D

A sad day has arrived, my ’98 Terrano TDI TII has finally gone beyond the amount of work required, to keep her road worthy, that I am prepared to commit to. So I need to get rid of it.:( The choices are :- Scrape it, not if it can be of use to somebody.:( Take it apart and sell the bits...

If the LED bulbs are designed for 12v then the voltage shouldn't be a problem. Each bulb has a resistor or possible a regulator built in to reduce the voltage to correct level, however LED bulbs are polarity sensitive and need to be connected the correct way round. Usually they are protected...

Having just viewed the Alaska thread I can't promise anything to that standard but I will do my best. In 1976 we drove the Alaska Highway in an old school bus when it was gravel from Edmonton to the Alaska border. Those pictures brought back some good memories. We came back via Dawson Creek...

Just over a week to go and I'm off to Morocco again. :clap This time I'm going just for me, on my own, no off road bikes to follow and support and travelling to my own time table. I will be away about a month and in Morocco about 3 weeks. I'm going to the...

I've had the same noise since I blanked the pipe. I guess that's what the pipe is for although how and why is beyond me. Peter

I'm now totally peed off. :(:( Got the seal changed and a nice new oe spec clutch fitted and all seemed well. Didn't do the job myself as it was beyond my equipment. Lent the car to my daughter before the weekend and its come back with oil dripping from the bell housing again. So it's back with...

I do take your point all and if there is any doubt about the clutch then it will be done but I believe it has been changed relatively recently in mileage terms. We shall see. Peter

Well she's all booked in for the rear crank seal next Monday, hummed and ha'ed but decided I couldn't face the job without proper tools. I will have another crawl around underneath, just to 100% sure but I'm afraid there is little doubt. The new seal is ordered, about £56, seems a lot for a...

I'm afraid it is the crank seal. Back of the engine is dry as a bone all the way down. Oil first appears around the bottom of the bell housing and is engine oil for sure, very black. I've been looking at gearbox removal and I don't think I feel like doing the job myself. Too old, weak and...

Just found engine oil dripping from the bottom of the bell housing.:eek: I'm 99% certain it's coming from the rear crankshaft seal. Anybody changed one? Gearbox off or engine out? I've got access to a transmission jack and hoist but no lifting gear, at least not enough for an engine so I am...

That's sort of what I was planning but with more reliance on the chassis bolts. I do tend to be a bit belt and braces but in light of the comments above I will look again. Peter

Just re-read my post, sorry if it sounded a bit abrupt :D I just wondered because the mounting brackets don't look very substantial to me, they are only designed for a plastic bumper with a bit of steel bracing. I do remember somebody posted pictures showing some work to reinforce the brackets...

Are you planning to use the points on the chassis where the tow hook is bolted as well as the bumper mounting points and if not why? There are two 12mm fine captive nut each side. Ideal I would have thought for winching. Peter Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I have found, on the road, with the hubs locked but in 2wd there is a slightly greater effort required but after a few miles I stopped noticing it. Off road, hubs locked and 4wd, it seems to feel as it did before I fitted the Lokka except it feels more 'surefooted' if you know what I mean. I can...

I've got manual hubs on mine, just didn't trust the auto ones.

Despite having installed my Lokka some weeks ago today was the first chance I've had to test it properly. I went down to the Bala Off Road Pay and Play day and gave the old girl a right good thrashing up and down and round about and though some slightly too deep water and the Lokka was...

Bit off topic but I've just noticed your location Rick, I went to school in Bexhill during the 50s. It was the junior school for The Royal Merchant Navy School. It closed in 1958 and I went on to the senior school Wokingham now called Bearwood College. Not very happy days for me, very much old...

Well it works both ways, I browse for tips and tricks all the time. Rick Parts site is back and I've had a look but I can't see anything that resembles a shim or thrust washer in the relevant areas of rear final drive. The LSD and the diff seem to be made up into one 'cassette' type assembly...

Rick I ordered an another pair of original thickness thrusts just in case I needed to return to standard and they arrived at the dealer in less than 24 hours so any "not available" talk is rubbish. The same part is used up until at least 2007 on Navanas. Part no. fir the front thrusts washers...
