awesome, you don't see many of these around, I love the old MK1!!

 

[stinka]

Looks very solid in pics

Running gear is same as uk r20 model

Would make an awesome offroader

 

[clivvy]

yeah, what I love about these, is how rock solid they are, and the rear door design is what modern cars today use-so it looks the part these days!

certainly worth checking out. INterior, if I remember correctly, is very basic and "square" ill see if I can find some links...

Nicely done, the ausies love these

 

[clivvy]

yeah, they know what they like!

that one is the three door though, with the funny side windows, but as far as I can remember from seeing the four door, the rear interior is very similar to a Terrano-just basic flat sides etc but loads of room.

Love the boot, would come in handy as a overlander. Sitting in the back drinking a brew using it as a small roof.

 

[maverick fox]

not too bad inside, classic feel
hopefully if rick pops on can advise me on mine, as its a nice 4x4 but with tax up this month and needing timing chain fitting cost.... all depends how much and is worth keeping?
all want is reliable working car!!

are the the same head height and int space as the old terrano?
is it the same engine as the 93+ ones?

I think they are a bit bigger inside, they were generally a larger vehicle than the terrano. Its a TD27 engine though-same as Terrano, so its the Turbo, NO I/C, which is good because its more basic and simple!

 

[maverick fox]

i/c?
extra room always good, as at 6'4 the more room the beter lol!
think saw one towards weston, liked the outside look, certainly looked wider and more rugged

no InterCooler its just a TD-Turbo Diesel, but nothing wrong with that-means less sensors and electrics, although its only about 96BHP, something like that, whereas the TDI is 125Bhp. To be honest, ive been in a well tuned automatic TD, and it flew, that was Peters (Briggie) and Rick did the work on it, I tell you, it drove like a new car, the engine was excellent.

definitely wider and rugged, just by a good few inches all round.

 

[maverick fox]

would that be a lot less power or more economical then?
its def nice looking, altho dont know what an old auto is like.

 

[stinka]

It would be plenty powerfull enough

I'd increase boost and turn fuel up ( just tweek rod on actuator and turn fuel screw in pump ) and run veg oil at 80p litre

 

[maverick fox]

id like the veg oil but would have to be told how as last time i tried it the engine kaputted, so i either did it wrong or bad car lol bt it scared me off

 

[maverick fox]

daft question.......at those mies is the timing chain going to need to be done???? if i was looking to make things easier and cheaper would kind of defeat the object lol!

no, its gear driven, so essentially, nothing to do or worry about, hence why they are in taxis.

as for veg oil, just poor it in, change the filter after 500 miles then youre sorted.
