I'm back

[Sweety]

Hi everyone been many years since I was last here & to tho's who remember hope you have all been keeping well & to tho's I don't hi for the first time:thumb2
Sold my dear SWB Terrano 4 years ago & bought a Disco2 4L V8 was a nice motor to drive & the sound of the big V8 was fantastic but the huge repair bills & 4MPG in sport mode wasn't much fun at all & it was cr@p off road & couldn't do was the old T2 could sold it just over 2 years ago after it slipped a liner & the engine block went pourus so went back to my roots of performance cars & got a very rare (only 15 in the UK) Astra coupe great performance & MPG but have been longing for another Terrano & after 18 month of hunting & looking at around 40 Terrano's i've at last found one in my eyes worth the asking price so next week i'll have a 55 plate LWB SE

Yay you made it

Good to hear from ya dude, I'd seen summat on FB about this new purchase. You'd better get some photo's to show us:thumbs

 

[Sweety]

Cheers Ryan:thumb2 Hope your all keeping well Jim, i'll get some pic's up once I get it but it's silver over grey with only 51K on the clock & almost rust free so will get on top of the couple of early rust spots asap before it gets a hold but the boot floor is perfect. It's got the pimp 17" rims on it but as I like them they'll be stopping but might get a colour change & bigger tyres. Most of my old mods will be done on this one & will prob get the ECU remapped as I can get it done cheap

Nice mate. Is it in before the jump in road tax ? Some are like £280 a year then in late 2005 (I think) it jumps to £400 a year tax

Welcome back Sweety, it has been a long time.:thumb2

I have still got my Mav and still passing MOT's, so why change it.:nenau
I knew these we good motors, that's why I've kept it for 18 + years.

No doubt you will be checking the downloads when you become a full member again.

Hi stinka ( that sounds wrong :lol )the change was 2006 IIRC so i'm sure it's the lovely £280 a year tax but thats only £10 more than what i'm paying now for my Astra
Hi rustic yes it's been a while but pleased to hear you still have the mav:thumb2

Try this web site to see if it makes it any clearer on Road Tax http://www.roadtaxprices.co.uk/Road_Tax_2012.htm

I have to say that is what has been on my mind about when the time comes to replace the Terrano. Also seems to me there is an aweful lot of trash rotten Terrano's out there that are quite young too.

Welcome home, good to have you back in the chapter!

 

[Sweety]

Done some digging around on the net & DVLA's site Jim & as long as it was registered before the 23 March 2006 the road tax is £280 a year but after this date it's £480 Saying that it's rare you see an 06 plate Terrano infact I think i've only ever seen 2 I wonder why:lol Your right Jim about the condition of the younger T2's you just have to spend the time hunting down a good 1 & TBH I said I was only going to look at the 1 i've bought & another 1 then I was going to give up & start looking for a xtrail as we need something to pull a van in a couple of years but sadly an xtrail wouldn't cope with the flood water we get but who cares getting a T2 that will cope

Well after a few days of owning a T2 again my passion for motors has come back even stronger:clap got a few little mods planed. Do the gear knobs just screw off on the later models like the earlier ones ? Just these seem stuck fast & can't move them:doh also has anyone replaced the single din stereo is it the whole centre consol out job like the old ones or can you just pop off the front suround ? Not putting in a huge sound system this time just a single 10" sub & amp
