new 2se

thanks peps.
a bit about the nissan.
its a terrano 2 2.7 tdi se on a 99t plate.
taxed mot for 4 months,i know the 4x4 as we have vanned together for 4 years.
slight front wing blistering but i am not worried.good paint all round,
rear sill corners might want work for next mot as on advirsary.
he had not planed to sell it but he was offered a 54 kia at a bargain price so i am the winner.
he has had it serviced every 6 months at the garage he uses.
he just this month had 2 new rear tyres fitted,replaced 2 front wheels with better ones at a cost of 270.all tyres good.
last year it had new front disks and pads and new battery.the only time it has let him down was the battery in -5 degree jan12.
its been well looked after 102000 mls gives him 25/30 towing.big van.
its clean in and out,he is 77,great condition leather seats just a good truck that he has let me have for 650.i am sure its a bargain.
i am at my towing limit with my zx 1900td so now have the option to go bigger.
i use logs so the boot will come in very handy instead of my trailer.but i will need to carry more wvo for my long trips.:thumbs

as he is upgrading his 4x4.

Welcome to the site.
Upgrading to what...?

Some vehicles will be a down grade:doh

Some are VERY unreliable.

So What is the up grade then...?:nenau:nenau


Edit ...our posts crossed...
I have had my Mav nearly 18 years, I doubt the Kia will still be around by then!

welcome to the clud sounds like you got a real bargin for that price

 

[zippy656]

Sounds good to me too

Www.whattowcar.com will let you work out what van you could tug

 

[panelbeater]

its a kia serento sport i think,auto got from another one of our clan as he has gone smaller as sold his van to get a motor home.

Welcome m8

Welcome to the madhouse, sounds like a sweet truck you've bagged there. Biggest pain using vwo on these is the height of the fuel filler, means lifting cubies higher than a zx! I just got a decent drill pump, makes life a lot easier.

welcome, just don't use anything but 2wd on tarmac :thumb2

welcome, just don't use anything but 2wd on tarmac :thumb2

Aye, because the gearbox will eat itself

 

[panelbeater]

thanks for info.
i fill up my zx with 3ltr plastic bottles,since a heart prob i have not got a lot of strength to lift.its easy to keep a record of the ltrs to,for hmc,but i will be using a lot more wvo when i start to use the t2,still using the zx till it sells as cant put 2 cars on the road at the same time.

 

[AD Ent]

[makeitfit]
