Ex Freelander owner buys Terrano swb

[Sweety]

I've seen this happen a few times on the later models as Nissan changed the position & type of handles:doh the easiest thing will be to get a S/H handle & replace it & there are a few on here who break Terrano's:thumbs I've seen the handles glued back together before but TBH if mine go like this I think i'll try plastic welding them, a skim of filler & then spray paint them satin black first to see how that holds up

Welcome mate, I'm the clubs friendly moderator :thumb2

I've just brought one pretty much identical to that apart from the fact that mine is a van and got the SVE wheels, click the project thread link below on my signature.

I'm off to grab a few bits off one tonight again identical to mine so if you'd like me to get you the grab handles I'll grab them, if you don't have them, seeing your pictures I think I may keep them myself as spares.

The ABS sensor fault is very very common, they are a bit of a mare to remove from what I have read which makes finding a 2nd hand one near impossible, we have a few guys on here that break these trucks terranobreakershrophsire and cncfabs, I'll ring James (terranobreakershropshire) and see if he has any in :thumb2

Oh no, we've got him going on the 20 year ownership again :augie

Those handles look shagged, get some new ones and if they are gonna be under heavy heavy use perhaps a small mod could be placed in handle for strength :nenau

Mine squeak if you use em to get in :nenau

:thumb2:thumb2
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.:thumb2
When I had it ten years, I thought will I still have it 2 or three years later, now I am thinking... Can it make 25 ? :augie

I'm hanging on until they get around to calling cars older than 25 years classics, then I'll get free Road Tax, at the time as I get a free bus pass... hmmm
Is there a link lol...?:lol

I'm quite keen to get these handles sorted now .(especially after my sucess with the rear door)

I have an idea to repair them with a black acrylic resin, so some guidence of how to remove the handles and/or the door card, would be a great help. I got as far as removing 2 screws from above the handle and moving it upwards, but did'nt want to force it...
Many thanks,
Simon

Your idea might work very well just mask off all the bits you don't want the resin on. I think the handles are attached to the door trim I know they come off with the door trim when you remove it:augie To take the door trim off remove the 2 screws under the blanks in the handle, there is 3 screws I think under the door pocket, 2 screws under little plastic caps at the front of the door trim by the hinges & poss 1 or 2 at the lock end but can't remember then pull the trim away from the door carefully as it's held on with plastic trim clips, drooping the window down makes it easier to get it off/back on
