Hi all hope you've all had a great Xmas!! Well I've had confirmation that I'm doing a swop for my 3lt manual terrano for a 3lt auto in the next week or so!! Hope I've made the right choice? Just need something easier to drive off road while shooting... Atb rob
New motor...I think ?

Manual to auto
Hi I'm out twice a week on 10 or so farms keeping everything from rabbits to foxes / deer etc managed for the farmers .. Most of which gets put back on the table for supper!! Also manage a couple of small pheasant shoots (which over the years has put a lot back into the country side,ie wild bird feed/cover crops including plenty of flowers etc for our local honey bees etc) I also fish all over the place and my daughter rides our horses all over kent at shows etc hence the need for a reliable 4x4.. Just gutted my old 3lt patrol blew up! (Even though she was treated like the queen!!oils etc changes etc .. Cheers rob

That's due to the patrol having a much greater track (wheels wider apart) than the Terrano but on the other hand a Terrano can fit through tight gates etc far better:thumbs
Nimble terrano
Your right on both counts!! The terrano does squeeze through tiny gaps etc but defo doesn't feel as stable on banks/hills etc especially if the trucks turning slightly..I was hoping to pick up the new auto 3lt before the new year but the garage need to replace/ reveal the sump..apparently a common problem? They recon they have to drop the front axle..? Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to have the new truck raised slightly , and is it something my mobile machanic can do on the drive? Where best to get the parts ? Does it affect anything on the truck ? I just want it a tad higher ,not to create any probs!! Thanks in advance guys..rob
