mk3 5 door work for the SWB, but need a little adapting at the ends.

what size box section would you use?

Hi My MOT is coming up, so today I started having a look at what would need doing on the body work. There are holes in both sills, which I could get away with patching, but since both sills have already been patched several times I think it would be better to replace them completely. I believe...

I may be wrong, but I think the gaps you've circled are supposed to be there, and aren't due to rot. The lower structure is attached to the outer part of the slam panel, below the headlights and horns. The inner part just closes up the gaps around the radiator I think. BTW this is front end...

Started to fix this: Which soon became this: Turned into a bigger job than expected and means the Terrano will be off the road for a few days, don't you just love rust...

I changed my gearbox oil a couple of weeks ago. I used a length of hosepipe from the filler hole, out through the NSF wheel arch, with a funnel on the end. I could then just stand by the front wheel and pour the oil into the funnel and let gravity do the rest. I just filled until oil started...

Hi I just have a quick question about gearbox compatibility. I have a '95 SWB Terrano that I need to find a new gearbox for. I assume the gearboxes for the 2.4 petrol and 3.0 tdi engines are different? Will the gearbox from the later 2.7tdi models fit? or did they change the box as well? I...

we were forecast 2-5cm but got rain instead :(

bu**er Well it seems the gearbox swap is now on hold until I can find another replacement box.... I drained the oil from the replacement today, planning to swap them over the weekend, however as well as lot of lovely black gear oil, out came rather a lot of metal filings and a couple of small...

Thanks for all the advice, some good stuff there which will hopefully make it a bit easier for me. :):thumb2 I am planning on renewing the oil in the gearbox and transfer box ( I managed to lose most of the oil from the replacement transfer box when removing it anyway). Would it be better to...

According to this I would definitely need to do the towing test for what I want to do. Thanks. You need to do the extra tests for pretty much anything other than driving a normal car (eg minibus, towing or large vehicles) if you passed your test in 1997 or later.

Hi I'm thinking about taking my towing test so that I can to large trailers (eg car transporters). I believe that I would need to take the test to be able to do this as towing approx 2.5 tons (possibly more) would probably go over the gross train weight limit for a normal car licence. Anyway...

Thanks for the welcome. I will let you know how the gearbox swap goes when I get around to it.

ok, have subscribed now. Thanks

Hi All I live in Gloucestershire, or Durham during Uni term time. I bought a Terrano a couple of months ago, its a '95 Td Lx SWB in white bought primarily for towing duties. Its my first 4x4 and have had some fun in the snow:D but have yet to have a go offroad. The truck had a few of problems...
