Happy New Year chaps. May your breakdowns be small ones! My speedo plays up when I use my lights for an extended period, and eventually freezes. When I switch off, it points straight down, and I have to do 70mph to get it working again, when it flicks back into action. I'm guessing it's a...

I wonder how many times this happens? It's a scandal really, a real safety issue. I wonder if they were counterfeit ? So much stuff is made in Eastern Europe these days, but who checks the quality? Iv'e just Googled 'brake lining delamination'. What a surprise, not as rare as you might...

No, unfortunately I don't know the brand. It's very rare, so perhaps I should do the lottery!.

DELAMINATED BRAKE SHOE! CORRECT. That is exactly what it was. Should never happen, I guess the quality of spares is not what it used to be. Plenty of meat on the lining too, not as if it was almost worn away. Oh well, had a leaking wheel cylinder on the other side too, so a nice new set of...

No, I was travelling, I suspect a broken shoe retaining spring. We will see tomorrow. Anyway, there is plenty of braking on a motorway!

Could be, I'm just glad it didn't happen on the motorway at 70. Would have been a lot of smoke from my nice new rear tyre, and a lot more damage! I'll keep you posted on the outcome.

Driving home from the school run this morning, all country lanes, and just after I turned left at a junction, the rear N/S wheel locked solid! Luckily, just past a layby. The handbrake was being pulled down, so I guessed a brake problem. Fortunately, I could reverse ok, but as soon as I tried...

Morning chaps, where can I get a good used tan leather drivers seat for my old gal? 2001 2.7 LWB. Cheers.

Yeah right I take it you are bored with poking fun at the local schoolkids? The TERRANO is a great vehicle, I have to use narrow country lanes, JUST enough room for two to pass. The Range Rover following me has to stop hard! I whizz through. It turns into a large VAN in SECONDS! How many...

Just cured my oil leak. Turns out it was worn threads on the sump plug. Bought a new one on fleabay with a magnet. No oil on the drive, magic!

Is there a grill available for the bonnet air intake on the Terrano ll? I want to stop numpties posting pizza into my engine bay! Can't find anything on the net. Cheers.

Thanks for the jokes chaps. It is defo the rubber seal around the glass, my aerial is at the rear. Cheers for the help. Found this handy website. http://terranoirk.ru/man/R20/bt.pdf Mike.

I have water dripping from the roof switch pod. Would a leaking windscreen seal at the top cause this? It does look like there is a bit of a gap for the rain to blow into at speed on the underside of the seal. I recently cleaned out the sunroof drains after that started to leak, and thought I...

Nothing racist about loving your own country and it's history. I'm a fully paid up member of the Britiah National Party, and proud to be an Englishman.

The sidelights on my T2 get moisture inside, and need cleaning, how do I remove the glass (plastic) ? Do they just prise out of a rubber seal? Cheers.

I bet the 'get rid of 4x4's' brigade wish they had one now! I don't want to appear smug when my old T11 ploughs on through everything, well ok, I am!

Thanks chaps, didn't realise they didn't come as standard! Tight bas@@rds!

There is one on there now, but the guy said it's for 2003 model, mine is 2001, don't know if it's compatable, and he doesn't know if it's for SWB or LWB.

Any idea where I can get a parcel shelf for a 2001 2.7 SE LWB ? Mine is missing.

It helps to have a layer of light dust/dirt for the waxoyl to soak into, it lasts longer. Used it on my 89 Laurel and when I sold it at 17 years old it was in showroom condition.
