Not sure whether to post this on here or classifieds,apologies if it requires moving. Avondale Rialto 640/6 2002 model.Twin axle lightweight touring caravan.(Big van but i towed it with my Mistral beautifully 6 berth with 2 fixed full length bunks,side dinette with bunk above and massive...

I've found "feathering" the pedal rather than pushing down too much drastically improves momentum,I like to use the hold function as much as i can,only switching out when pulling away,but even then,never floor it as (mentioned above),this just gives loads of revs and little speed:thumbs

Adz,could you please explain the exhaust mod?.Has anyone done a perf' tuning guide for the non intercooled motor on here?.

Hi Briggie, yes you are correct about the detrimental effect of warm air when using some of these "boy racer" type kits.Mine sits right at the front,pointing down,actually not far away from the original cold air intake.I could make it better by removing the original airbox altogether and...

I was quite lucky because a mate of mine had an induction kit on his RAV4 which he passed on to me when he sold it.It's a large cone type filter which fits onto a sweeping steel bend.This bend fits perfectly into the standard rubber boot that normally goes to the air filter housing.It fit's...

Hi Yakkerman,my Misty is a '96 LWB and i love mine too:thumbs.I bought it local for a few hundred quid,low miles and perfect body - i reckon these cars are a bargain (especially the imports with all the goodies like ours) Are you happy performance wise?.I have done a few small tweaks/checks to...

Thanks guys, Thing is,i've spotted one on E-bay which states from a Terrano 94 on.From the pic it does look like mine,HOWEVER,it's from a SWB vehicle.It appears that the only difference is the pipe length between the two boxes,anyone clarify this? If it's cheap enough i may get it just for the...

The exhaust on my Mistral has been welded up in a few places by the previous owner.I could remove it and piece bits in but the backbox has gone too so i'm looking to replace the whole lot:doh Where is the best place to buy,and is it the same as the LWB Terrano part?

This has never happened to me before but is a warning to everyone to check under the bonnet at least once a week! During the school run today we could smell burning and thought it was a fire outside.The car was running fine so i didn't give it a second thought.We drove about 3 miles home,got...

thanks guys - doesn't seem too bad:thumb2

I've had this rattle since i bought the car and have posted on here about it a few times.I've done the roll bar bushes/drop links,and checked the anti rattle clips on the brake pads,also had a good look around and can't see anything loose.I've just noticed today that it goes away when in 4WD.I'm...

Thanks Guys,well pleased,they look great!:thumbs

I got a couple of the large Nissan ones - Do they go on dry or should i wet the panel first? - do i need to prepare the surface at all,or just stop worrying and slap them on?

Thanks Clivvy - didn't want to get under again today as i've now got oil on every pair of jeans i own!

:lol Yeah that's it - her brain rattling round her head Jobs done so far to my new truck that came with a fresh 12month MOT:rolleyes: Anti roll bar bushes and drop links (so far gone they fell to bits when i showed them a spanner) One tyre sidewall worn right through to the canvas all the...

Following on from a previous thread,my Mistral is fine over large bumps but on small potholes/uneven surfaces it makes a rattling noise from the front wheel area.I thought it was the anti-roll bar/drop links so i replaced all these with new uprated poly bushes and new good quality links.This...

Just so happens,my mate runs Oxton Engineering! PM Me when you are ready and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks guys! - i may be able to see without taking it off first by loosening one end,i hope to do it this weekend - If there is one i may be able to re-seal it anyway:thumbs

Thanks Zippy,I've trawled through this a few times before but still can't find out :(

I want to do an oil change and clean out the mesh strainer in the sump.Will i need to purchase a gasket first or is the cover just gooo'ed on?
