Well, after reading several posts on here, It seems to be the counter gear? Noisey in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th under load, 4th gear is fine though Pete

I'm up for it if you lot help me drop the gearbox out and swap for a new one, the radio just doesn't go loud enough any more and I know all the words to that old favourite "the counter gear whine" :-)

Yeah, funny how all of my friends who laugh at my high miles per gallon aren't quite so smug looking when we have snow....he he he

I'm up in Worcester, so I guess Somersetcestershire isn't a million miles away Bads

Well...... Buddy, of Pip & Puppy fame from Britain's got talent pee'd on my carpet once, dya think if I cut it out and put it on ebay it might be worth a few quid towards a new gearbox? Bads

How much for the running boards? and whats the interior like? looks like leather nor sure though? Bads

Clivvy.......you're a sage..... Pete

Well, thats a turn up Took her back to the garage this morning after limping all the way there with barely any clutch. Mechanic friend came out, pressed the peddle and said "have you checked the fluid level", with a beaming face I replied, yes of course I have.....bugger me popped the bonnet...

Thanks for that Rick, hopefully they will be able to take a look in the morning and I can ask the nice gentleman what he has done to my baby Pete

Yep, checked the fluid level, looks fine. I'm a bit confused how over adjusting the handbrake would affect the clutch though? Pete

Hi Gang and Happy New Year to all. Its been a while since I was last here, and thats basically because the old girl has been giving me no trouble. Ok, so today she goes for MOT, failed on a couple of things, exhaust rubbers needed replacing and parking brake was low. So, they said they would...

Thanks for the heads up guys. Local motor factor can do a rad at a very reasonable price, i'll just keep it topped up until it arrives. Snowing like crazy here at the moment, so I may have to do it later :-)

Hi Gang I did ask this question a while back but have lost the thread...... I have a Terrano 2 2.4 petrol on an M plate. I need to replace the rad and water pump, but want to make sure i get the right parts. Poor baby froze the rad when it was sat at Luton airport in -15 for best part of a...

I see the chaps are on form and answered your questions. The first time mine did it, I nearly marked my pants! Thankfully after reading other offerings on here I greased it up an dall is well, saved my sanity and the washing....two for the price of one Great Pete

Thanks for the tips guys Job done, cylinders and shoes replaced and all working. I may just drop the one wheel off tomorrow because I think I have over adjusted the trim. Now I know what I'm doing with it, it will be a quick enough job. By the way, they're 8mm bolts to push the drums, as I...

Thanks for the pointers Have the parts in hand now so going to get a crack on Pete

Hi Gang, Not sure if any of you lot have had this problem? The wiper blades fit tightly into their little clip/hook on the end of the arm, but if I'm on a long journey the passenger one just decides it doesn't like it anymore and comes off. Obviously, being a bloke I use a cable tie to sort...

Thanks for that I'll give them a go if the local boffins don't have anything Pete

Hi Gang, Well, I settled down to what I assumed was going to be a straight forward job and guess what.... I was wrong! The rear wheel cylinder seal has obviously gone, hence the crappy braking on the rear. Brake fluid had contaminated the shoes etc etc etc. So, do I replace the seals or the...

Cheers Jim Like your avatar by the way :-) You know what my next question is going to be then, which one do I look in for the engine/gearbox Diddly da di dah Pete
