Finally, finally

[Ogri]

Well I went and did it and bought the Terrano that I've been looking for.

54 plate 2.7 TD SE with only one owner and lots of history. Spent most of it's time in Spain until 2010 so no obvious rot to speak of.

176k miles but the price reflected it at £1625.

I'm pleased with it so far. Airbag light on, had to reprogram the key and the front has sagged a little but all easy stuff to sort I hope.

I'll be challenging Alex for the most asked questions over the next few weeks so be warned...

Thanks for putting up with my pre-purchase questions so far.

Cheers,

Ian

By the way if anyone says anything about the side steps I'm gonna come round and scratch your eyes out :lol

hit 'em with your hand bag...:augie
get it wax oiled and it should last many years :thumb2

 

[clivvy]

looks lovely! You can probably reset the air bag light, I had to when I got mine. There is a simple way to do it. If you look in the downloads section, its the second one down "airbag reset":thumbs

Of course if it keeps coming on then there is probably a fault to rectify, but mines been fine since.

Looks a tidy patrol but it's shrunk in the wash:lol:lol:lol hey you've got the same side steps as i've got:thumb2 being an SE has yours got the normal single din stereo with separate hazard switch ? As is said it comes to those who wait & you've waited a while to get the right T2

I really wanted a Patrol but I'm a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to spending money :augie

Yes, separate single din stereo - I was very relieved to see that as I wasn't looking forward to the job of replacing the big one.

1625!!! That's a bargain

It came with the engine too

Have to say she looks really great!

Is she a show car or a pay n play? Or a bit of both? :naughty

It's not quite as pretty as the photos make it look but it's not too bad. I can't really afford any decent tyres right now so for the time being it will be family transport but I had a few nice days out with the last one so I hope to be able to get to some laning days eventually.

Oh, and it did come with an engine but only time will tell if it's a good one or not :nenau

Got any budget for tyres atall?

i have some keenly priced alloys and a/t tyres in the for sale section, you would probably recoup money for selling your 17's.....

You're a bad man puddle hoppers :lol

Putting temptation in my way like that. I had seen them and they seem very fairly priced but after buying the truck and insuring it I'm just plain skint for a while.

 

[AlexD333]

Cant comment on condition of your tyres, however i have the same model of tyre and they are wicked :thumb2

[firebobby]

That's the dilemma really - the tyres on mine are all good but they're very road looking rather than off-road looking if you know what I mean?

This was my fear when was looking at buying them. Have to say im glad i did. Had Goodrich all terrains on my fronty and they are as good as easily:thumb2

Look for my recent greenlane picture link. Nothing staggered the car or tyres, barely even a slip :thumb2

And they look pretty damn resistant to punctures due to fat tread with thin grooves
