I spoke to the trader today and been told its a genuine nissan re-conditioned turbo that will be fitted. He said he would not be financially viable for him to fit a new one. He also said i could come and get a temporary car to drive until the terrano is ready which is great but i will have to...

Thanks. I can not see him getting a genuine new one fitted for a grand. That is half of what i will be paying him! I will find out tomorrow and post on here. Cheers guys!

Thanks. I will try to get a definite completion date when i ring him on Monday and try to get a temporary car when i ring him tomorrow. Just so i know how much dose a genuine new turbo cost roughly? I will pretend i don't know and ask him tomorrow how much hes is paying to see if he is getting...

I agree that i should be provided with transport while its being fixed. I will phone him first thing in the morning. To be fair after researching about the terrano for the last couple of weeks i really want one now. When i went to collect last weekend but the trader couldn't make it i got...

Hello to all who have followed my posts on here. Thanks for all the advice so far. To update on the situation i still do not have the terrano yet! The trader could not be there for our arranged pick up date so he offered to service it to make up for it but upon doing this discovered the turbo...

Will post up some pics once i have it parked outside. Will post them here unless it would better in the pic section.

Do not worry about giving me advice on running one of these. I see all the information i need is already in the forum somewhere. I just have to search for it. I have always enjoyed researching cars and problems etc. I once spent a few days looking into seat cover options for my connect which is...

No worries. Its a 2003 3.0 di sve, £2050, 80k, taxed till may, 12 months mot. All the electrics except the sunroof work. It has a large scratch on the bonnet and a few scuffs on the bumpers and slightly worn leather seats, good tyres, un-used spare, near perfect alloys, sweet sounding engine and...

I have agreed to buy the terrano! I will have to pay around £50 pound extra for the m.o.t which has been done today with no faults found. I hope it has been done correctly. I will pick it up weekend after next as i cant make the trip this weekend but had to be quite persuasive to be able to do...

I agree that fourtracks are great off-roaders. There is a reason why farmers often use them as full-time farm vehicles but there not the best choice for the tarmac. I will only be off-road to get to get to h.v powerlines then the the truck just becomes a stationary shelter for crib time and to...

After doing a bit of research on fourtracks it seems everyone who has one dose not drive above 50 to be able to have reasonable mpg which is no good for me really as i like to sit at 70 on major roads. I really like the swb terranos for a good all-rounder. I will have to see what the outcome is...

Very interesting solarman. I think you may be getting a bit deep there though. We all know that all laws except common laws are only enforceable with consent but that is a whole different topic and more worthy in a related forum! For now i will act like everyone else and try to abide by the laws...

I think you are making good valid points. I am a member of a tree surgeon forum called arbtalk and have been searching through to research what others have said and it seems like it is a very grey area. I cant see where one person actually has a tacho fitted but people have definitely been...

Looking at that chart kamsin. Im not sure i would need a tacho as it says its for hire or reward or commercial goods. I would be simply transporting tools/equipment for my own use. I don't think i have every known a tree surgeon to use a tacho and towing trailers full of logs is very common in...

Ok so an update on my situation. Its currently the same. Had a busy day at work today so didn't get chance to call the dealer until around 5pm but got a partner of the dealership instead. Had a short chat with him and said if it was down to him i wouldn't get my deposit back at all! However he...

Just thought i would mention that i am very thankful for the all the advice i have received. I hope it works out for me as this forum seems like a friendly place and im sure if i do buy it i will become a regular visitor. I wish buying vehicles was simple. I have owned over 14 different...

I think i will phone tomorrow and say i want my deposit back unless he puts a new mot on it and if it passes without anything needed doing then i will offer to pay the mot fee. If i can buy it with a new mot i could then pass it over to my usual garage that i trust to give it a good looking...

Im 28 but have a towing licence. I think that the the tracked chipper on trailer comes in just under 3 ton which is what led me to the 3.0. I have some basic mechanical knowledge and when driven and given a good looking over it seems very good. I checked with mycarcheck and it confirmed the...

Thanks i am very impressed with the response from everyone. I need a 4x4 for a new work contract i am taking on and it has to be a swb to be able to park outside my house. I will be towing chippers and occasionally a tracked chipper on a trailer so was thinking the extra towing capacity of the...

I should mention that it is a 3dr. I only have space outside my house for a 3dr. I initially looked for a terrano as i have used them in a previous job as a company vehicle and was impressed with the performance and to have a bit more power and economy with the 3.0 would make all the difference...
