Hello, newbie here. Just about to get a 54 reg auto Terrano. Not had either an auto or 4x4 before so interesting times ahead. Have a few friends who've given good advice already to help me out and hoping to pick up a bit more here. Cheers
We have loads of information on the Terrano, even access to a full service manual, we have also created workshop downloads, if you are really thinking about the Terrano, I really suggest you join before making that final commitment.
Rust is the biggest killer of most cars, the Terrano is not exempt, but there are some hints and tips on here that can help you save 100's on your repairs.
For rust, check cills mostly at the rear, inside and out, lift the carpet at the rear, look for signs of rust. Front wings can start bubbling from where the plastic trim is attacked. Check 4x 4 works, but not on tarmac, it can cause transmission wind up.
It might give you confidence that I have had my Maverick (Terrano in disguise) for well over 20 years.
We collectively know more about the Terrano than all the dealers put together, in my opinion of course.
If you join up soon, by paying the £10, it might keep you awake all night, reading about it. I think I have given you enough info to help you save your first £10 already lol. i'm sure a few others will be along shortly with a few more things to look for.:thumb2
Once again Welcome.
Rustic
