Just checked autotrader stats on the auto.... 1700kgs! Must be quite a weak auto box then? A freind of mine transports cars for a living an uses a Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2 Auto lwb AUTO and he has done 177,000 miles so far without issue. ALL those miles towing!

"the towing weight on the 2.7 auto is about a tonne less than the manual....1750kgs I think compared to 2800" Wow thats a huge diference! No good to me as my racecar and trailer are 1800kg+. Thanks for the advice. Are those stats fact?

Do you use yours for towing Steve? What mpg do you get?

Terrano clonking update Ok all fixed. Clonking turned out to be very worn outer CV joints. So, generally worn CV joints would sound like a clicking noise, usually on lock moving slow enough to hear it. I have diagnosed MANY over my lifetime. The diference with this, hence my request for info...

Rick That was on speedo (it has shown over 100) but Im not sure if its calibrated as an ex Police vehicle. I have read about the optimistic speedo's on these so reckon at least 10% out. Even if its 10% though, its very good for the size/weight. And it was returning high 20's mpg (28-30) for my...

Thanks :thumb2 How much are the CV joints to replace? New and 2nd hand? Seen them advertised from £45 - £80 new, does that sound right? Fitting them is not a problem. Are these hubs common? Better or worse?

Then just this to tension bearing Greased up steering stops too so will try later

My hubs look like this

Thanks :thumb2

Great thanks. Tried the downloads yesterday but wouldnt work for me. For an Ex Police its remarkably good, clean, 13 oil changes in 103,000's! (Shame I feel like Im driving Moby dick) I'll check out the link and look at the hubs next couple of days. :thumbs Thanks

Hi everyone, New to the site and Terrano ownership, just bought my brothers ex police 03 plate 2.7TD. I would be grateful of a little help. I used to own my own garage but spend most time in the motorsort arena these days, mostly a Trackday company, so know my way around the tool box The...
