CD Hi Andy, I have done this on mine when I removed the Nissan stereo and replaced it with a JVC CD player. There are 4 screws that hold the fake wood in place. Two down in the ashtray hole, pull the ashtray out and remove. The other two are above the heater controls, remove these. Pull the...

Cycle rack Hi, I have a Thule 3 bike towbar bicycle rack for use on my Terrano. The spare wheel did get in the way a bit so I spaced the ball out 2" and now its fine. Fit one of these behind the ball...

Rusty bits! Hi, I have used this on my 1971 Beetle that I am currently restoring. FE-123. http://www.rust.co.uk/rust-converters.cfm Has won many group tests and is highly praised in the classic car world. Bit expensive but you do get a big bottle. Used it on the Beetle, did exactly as the...

Clutch Hi, Had the same thing go on my terrano. Everything looked fine with no leaks but could not get gears. The clutch release arm had broken on mine, the ball pivot just inside the gearbox casing had broken through the release arm resulting in not enough movement even tho the slave...

IFS Hi, I completely agree, the IFS on Terranos is a limiting factor. Pretty sure I have seen on a link from this forum some guys modding a Terrano by fitting a front live axle. IIRC it was eastern european, might be wrong:confused: Cheers Steve

WOW! Look at this for axle articulation movement.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=RRlb5z_X6NU&NR=1 terrible music tho sorry. And this one, something for the serious Terrano modders to aim for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=We9z0rSkACw&NR=1 Steve

not starting! Hi, Had exactly he same thing on mine recently. I had run the battery flat (radio on all afternoon whilst working outside) tried to start it, not happening, tried to jump start and would not fire. Turned out to be because I had the bonnet up the imobiliser would not reset, had to...

Hi All, We had DVLA come to my employers yesterday and go round all our carparks with the ANPR looking for illegal cars, (no tax, not SORN'd) and clamping any they found. :eek: Having spoken to one of the guys he said its part of a national clamp down by DVLA. Any cars found that are not...

Adjust front suspension Hi, Coplue of things I learn't when adjusting mine, may be of use to you. It is worth putting a jack under the front cross member and lift the front and take the weight off the front suspension. Makes adjusting the torsion bars much much easier. Also remember to hold...

Clutch fitting costs Hi, I had a new clutch release arm fitted to my last Terrano, same sort of job as gearbox has to come out completely. My local garage charged me £175 labour to do the job, (I supplied the parts) The mechanic said he thoroughly enjoyed the job, something he could get his...

Down Pipe replacement Hi, My local ATS wanted £180 to supply and fit a downpipe on my truck. So I replaced my front down pipe myself with flexi last year, its not a bad job to do. You do need to support the rear of the gearbox and remove the cross support to be able to remove/refit the down...

thermostat - 88 degree Hi, Try your local motor factors, you may be plesantly surprised. I paid £6 for my 88 degree thermostat about 2 months ago. Had it on the shelf too...:thumbs Steve.

We have one HI, Give Ian a call on 07973 416295 We have recently broken a Maverick and purposely removed the clutch pedal as it was in good condition. Call Ian for a price. Cheers Steve.

SAS Mod WOW, Just went thru the complete posting, very impressive :clap Has it been done by anyone in the UK? Steve

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am." The man below replied, "You're in a hot air...

88 deg thermostat Evening all. I have an 88 deg thermostat fitted to my 2.7tdi, gauge sits pretty much bang on 3 o'clock, right in the middle. As for cost about £6 from your local motor factors. Well worth fitting this time of year:thumb2 Cheers Steve

OOPS! Morning, 11Redex, well spotted, seems I cannot read..........sorry:( Steve

mini filter Hi My very first Maverick (L reg) had a virtually blocked mini filter, this caused it to have no go. Located on the engine block behind the power steering pump is the mini filter. These block up and cause power loss. Go to the downloads to see a 'how to' on how to remove and clean...

Clutch woes Hi, Might be worth checking the clutch pedal as well. The spot welds let go on my pedal causing it to become harder to engage gears, basically as I pressed the pedal it came apart not allowing full movement of the master cylinder, making gear selection nigh on impossible. to...

warm! Hi, When I got my Terrano the blower was worse than an asmatic chain smoker coughing onto the windscreen.:( I removed the glove box and changed the pollen filter (about £8 from your local motor factors) and the difference was amazing:thumb2 It is also worth fitting an 88 degree...
