Took a punt at a Terrano off ebay with a gearbox fault
Sellers words below:

"REVERSE THEN GO FORWARD AND IT STARTS TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE AND A COUPLE OF CLUNKS.

PUT IN 4WD. AND GO A FEW HUNDRED YARDS AND THE PROBLEM CURES ITSELF.

IT DOES NOT RE-OCCUR UNTIL YOU REVERSE AGAIN.

DOES NOT LIKE GOING BETWEEN 50-60M.P.H.(WHINES).

WILL NOT REVERSE IN 4WD"

Any ideas as to cheapest fix??:thumbs
 
Easy way to test if the hubs are sticking or if it's worse. Remove the front auto locking hubs with the alan bolts. Inside you'll find the lock rings or break rings. Remove thos and refit the hubs. 4WD is then disabled and noise should be gone. If it's gone you know it's break rings or hubs. Like Zippy says we have the downloads section within Quick Links and also dozens of threads on these little things.

yep, as above, the issue might turn out to be an easy fix, manual hubs arent terribly expensive i dont think
 
Thanks very much guys, I'll give it a whirl and let you know how I go on.

Thanks again for the fast response.:clap
 
responce time was 7 mins..

we liked like to get this down to 4 mins, like the police and fire service

Ha ha, could also be the best value for money £10 I've spent in a long while.

I'll do £25 in the pub tonight and have the hangover from hell tomorrow, never learn do we??

Thanks again.
 
Just a quick update guys.

You were all spot on, took the brake ring out and running like a dream.

Been trawling through here for a couple of days and I see there are loads of threads on the 4wd issue.......promise I'll be more patient next time and will do a search first.

Once again I can't thank you enough and it really is the best tenner I've spent in a long time!!
 
the rings are a comon problem, also check you have the right 710 in the back dif ....

ask away, any thing we are always here to help, response time should be quicker too!! lol
 
Whoo... get in there guys :thumb2 :thumb2 :thumb2

So come on then... how 'cheap' was this T2 with a knackered gear-box??? :lol

I paid £350 for a P reg with 10 months MOT and 8 months tax, bit of a rusty wing on drivers side (sourced a s/h 1 for £50 are they easy to fit?) but apart from that I think I got a good motor for little money.

Zippy:

What on earth is the "710 in the back diff?"
Sounds painful.....

Thanks again guys.:clap
