Thanks for that Sweety - I thought that might be the case. The car is for my daughter. Shes had a LWB Terrano and we thought this new SWB was just the job for towing her horse box. Easier for her to park and didnt take up as much room in the yard. She really liked it and was gutted when we...

Just as an aside, any of you chaps have any experience with Terracans?

Just for anyone who's interested, this is the way cars are tested here in Northern Ireland. http://bit.ly/1lW3PzB These centres are operated by the government and there are seventeen in operation across the province. Local garages cannot MOT cars over here. The centre in the video is quiet...

Thanks again for all the interest, advice and replies. Should have mentioned a prohibition order has been placed on the vehicle and its locked up at the MOT centre. Can only be transported not driven.

Needless to say chaps, the vehicle failed miserably. The testers said they had never seen a chassis in such a bad way. First time in my life I have ever wanted a car to fail. The centres over here are absolutely terrific. State of the art equipment in state of the art facilities. We have 17...

Hi chaps - the car is being put through a government centre MOT tomorrow. I want to get an official report on its roadworthiness and then I will know where I stand. The dealer I bought the car from got it at an auction after the MOT had been granted a few days earlier. Both he and I have been...

Just saw your pics. I'm impressed!

I think it illustrates the weakness of the English MOT system. Over here in N.Ireland, we have government centres with state of the art testing equipment. The testers are well trained and have no interest in failing a vehicle in order to do remedial work. Its a very straight system. I believe it...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Been busy today making enquiries. Bought this vehicle from a trader in England and brought it over here (NI) last Friday.

Got it last Friday - MOT is valid until March 2015

I know - it was a big shock. I have a 2000 LWB that is in better shape underneath

This is on the nearside

Recently bought an 04 Terrano SWB with full Nissan service history and 69k on the clock. Has a recent MOT with no advisories. The condition of the interior and bodywork is great, but having a previous Terrano, I wanted to put it up on the ramps and check the underbody for corrosion, clean it up...

Thanks for the quick advice guys - I'll try a locksmith first.

I've just got another Terrano - 2004 2.7 swb. It came with two keys. One key opens and locks the doors remotely and will start the engine. The other key will remotely open and lock the doors but won't start the engine. I'm presuming I'm going to have to go to a Nissan dealer to see about getting...

Hi Daughters Terrano 2000 2.7 lwb failed the MOT - printout says - Steering linkage defective front centre. Also failed on drop sill - rust eaten/holed nearside and offside rear. Anyone got any ideas on what I should be paying to have this repaired? Thanks Joe

Thanks Guys - manuals it is.

If I put on manuals and she forgets to manually turn them back to free wheeling after the ice is there any likelihood of any damage being caused?

Thanks Jim - about six months ago I took out the workings from the two front auto hubs to see if diesel economy would improve and also with the idea of maybe changing to AVM manuals. Its my daughters car and she was always too busy to let me get to work on it. Of course with the recent snow she...
