Sorry for not giving you any updates yet but am on my third weeks nightshift! I give you this one though, the new truck at site. First snow tonight! Skickat från min SM-G930F via Tapatalk

Well, I think I got about £1500 more than I would have got in Sweden. (The fact that It had an auto box lowered the price a lot, they hate autos cause few can repair them there), and then to buy a Terrano in Sweden is a lot more expansive then in the UK! All and all I would say that you for sure...

Hello everybody, I'm back! The trip down to the Gambia was Amazing in so many ways. The car kept marching forward without any problems! Roughly 10000km of Terrano power! I will make an extended post these days with pics from the journey. I ended up selling the car in Gambia and of course when I...

Thank you Banshee, I really appreciate all the help I get from here! As I've said before, this trip wouldn't have been this good without you people! So had the filter out, look what came out of it! I changed it in Tarifa, Spain last time so this is what it has collected since. The fuel is...

The fact is that there is only unclean fuel here haha. It smells terrible and there is no other choice! It seems reasonable that it can be the fuel filter or banjo. Ignition switch was a good point as well. My wife managed to start the car more often than me, she must have a more gentle touch...

I will try that immediately!

Maybe it is the cps? I have been having some hesitation while accelerating before, thought it was normal. When pressing down the pedal it would take like half a second or so for the engine to react. And then of course the irregular idle that always been there.

So I just changed the MAF but no difference..

Hello everybody! It's lovely to drive this truck here in The Gambia. Sand roads everywhere and crazy traffic! Unfortunately one problem has developed without any warning. Yesterday the truck didn't want to start, it just clicks when turning the key. But after several attempts it will eventually...

The Instagram account is "Swedentogambia". I will post some photos here when I reach Gambia, otherwise the blog and the Instagram is a good channel for those of you who access such things :) On Thursday we will drive across the "no mans land" between Western Sahara and Mauritania! Wish us luck haha.

Hi everyone! We are now in Dakhla, Western Sahara. Car is still running well and it continues to take us to many fascinating places! To drive here in the desert is wonderful. Hot, windy and a lot of sand. Largest sandbox in the world haha.

We are now on the road! Cruising at this very moment, car runs well and everything should be in order. I hope.. Haha. Thank you all for the help you've been giving me. Car wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for you! Follow us on instagram and the blog!

Just talked with an "expert" who recommended 5w-50 fully synthetic. Apparently 20w-50 is hard to get in any other form than mineral oil. He said that the synthetic oil don't self evaporate as much as the mineral. Therefore better for longer runs if I understood him correctly.. The 5w-50 has the...

Unfortunately there is simply no time for me to fit an oil cooler so will have to live without it! What I've heard about Mineral VS Synthetic is that the synthetic should be more stable for longer runs and the mineral is less prone to leak? I have very little experience here. All I know is that...

Does any one have any idea of which type of engine oil I should use when driving down to The Gambia? It will get really hot! Shall I go for a Part Synthetic or a pure mineral oil? Ex. "Castrol Magnatec 15w-40" (part synthetic) or "Mobil Super 1000 X1 15w-40" (Mineral)?

Will bring as much as I can carry! :thumbs

It's around £0.90/ltr in Sweden right now.

Just another pic for the show! :naughty Was out with the family for a little Sunday excursion, ended up towing a VW Transporter 4motion out of the ditch, with ease! It was in really deep snow. Just low gear and a big smile on my face was all I needed!

So now it's all coming together! I wired the LED bar and the LED backup lights yesterday. So this is how the truck will look like, everything on the outside is done! Left to do is: - Convert the air box to carry a K&N cone filter and connect the snorkel. - Wire the fan for the intercooler - Put...

They are Bosch Big Knicks that I've converted to 3x 75w xenon! They are brighter than the sun! :naughty
