Hello everyone.. I am new and have a toy !!

[sillysausage]

Hello All,
Sorry if there seems a lot of questions !

Well our old Renault was written off the other day so i went car shopping and came home with what is seen below.. £2700 6 months tax thrown in.. Sold as seen though. Its done 96k miles.. Is it true that it does not have a cam chain or belt its cogs ??? Do i have to have them replaced at 100k ?

It seems to have one problem which is the ABS light comes on goes off as it should but when i drive down the road it pops back on and stays on untill i turn it off and start again. The brakes seem fine though.Not sure what this is ?

Tonight went to walk the dog and saw a nice long dirty road and thought ahh well it will be fun into 4x4 we went and boy i enjoyed it and its barely even mucky it just drove didn't even slip..

I am in the North West (Blackpool) i was hoping to find maybe a club of people that go out for off road days ?????.. I have a 9yr old child and other half that seem to be as enthusiastic as myself.

woohoo same as mine mate

yes its gear driven cam and welcome to the club

What you doing sunday ?? little meet going on in the northern peakdistict, might be able to squeeze one more if u ask, maybe ...

Hello Stinka,

Same as yours and you seem happy with yours makes me think i have a good car..lol

This sunday i am really not sure what we are doing as of now infact i don't think we are doing anything..

Is a child and misses aloud to go on these outings or is it a case of lads only..

Cheers !

Get that tow bar off :lol

Can i suggest you reset your front torsion bar, change all your filters and the oil. tappets might need adjusting. rear over axle fuel pipes might need replacing. have a look for rot on sills, in wheel arches and on front wings.

cracking motor tho mate, nice colour too :thumbs

I need the tow bar which is the shame.. Though looking it seems to unbolt..

I wouldn't to be honest have a clue how to change and do that lot if i am honest..

As for rust/rot.. I can't find any what so ever it seems solid as a rock though i must confess i am not a expert..

I guess you can mod these a fair bit then.. ?

 

[stinka]

Yes, but only worth it if you intend on doing serious off roading. When I got mine it had road tyres on it and it was axle deep in mud, climbing all sorts of stupid stuff without a mumble, so you don't need to bother as they are super capable standard.

Is a kid and partner allowed on these off road day things you spoke of earlier ?

Does the paid for forum section contain how to change filters and the like ?

 

[clivvy]

welcome to the club chap!

you and your family can do what you want at those 4x4 outings, never known them be lads only!

looks a stunning example. As Zipster says. probably ABS wires, the ABS pump is next to the air box filter I believe on those (I dont have ABS on mine), just check all the sensors there as water can drain in that side of the inner wing. :thumb2

yes, its a family day out if you want, always a few guys with their whole family with them.

Also, yes, this is the best terrano related £10 I have spent thus far. A wealth of information, and what ever your query someone will have encountered it.

 

[sillysausage]

Are you on here each day i shall see what we are doing on Sunday..

 

[stinka]

Not up to me, you need to sign up and message buzz
