newbie with loads of questions lol

[Bigfootgman]

Hiya my names greg from Nottingham just brought a 52 5door 2.7 terrano TD se body's in fantastic shape only done 58k from new does have a dodgy 2nd gear syncro though but got it at a good price . so here's the first question where's the best place for either a decent second hand box or a reasonably priced recon box or someone who can recon mine .
Cheers in advance

Welcome aboard, sorry no idea in your area. We got one or two members on here breaking these trucks so you may be able to get a good deal on a second hand box.

Welcome


Cncfabs is the man for a box.

The gearbox is the biggest downfall to the terrano / maverick

I would say the synchros are going

Personally I'd get yours refurbed so you know its done & going to out last the truck

The average milage before a box goes is normally 150000 miles, if its under its been abused or done a lot of towing

( & I have done plenty of 2nd hand gearboxs, NEVER again )

The for the welcomes is there a for sale section I can keep my eye on aswell

 

[jims-terrano]

Not sure if you'll get access to for sale unless you have a full membership. Have to say I've saved more than a tenner a year being a full member on here.

 

[zippy656]

Welcome mate :thumb2

As said cncfabs or terranobreakershropshire are your guys

Howdy dude, welcome to the forum. Great place here. Almost like a second family *wipes tear* :augie

But really good bunch of peeps on here, paid my rent for the year and yeah, saved myself a fortune, and on fuel too :thumbs

There is also a download/workshop section on here that you will certainly find helpful! As mentioned the two guys above are breakers but perhaps overhauling yours may be a smarter move, depending on cost :thumb2

Good luck and again, welcome!!

Got any pics?
