Sorry its been some time since I last posted on here ,the dif oil has been changed and yes it was like sludge ,but been doing a bit of work on the truck firstly the paint work needed a bit of repairing mainly round the back door then I bought a 50mm lifting kit from Millners and a rear poly bush kit that is all done plus I have fitted the rear windows its had 245/70/16 tires put on its winter steel wheels A frame and spots so now it looks totally different .The noise from the back seams to have become less I have learned that it may take some time to clear 3-4 k then I will need to change it again .one thing I do know is that I will not leave it as long again before it gets a good clean and waxoil its been three years and things do deteriorate ie rust takes a hold but its sorted now .One other thing I have been looking in to is the wife runs a Honda CRV which has been a good car but when anything goes wrong it costs an arm and a leg ( millners do not cater for this car ) so we are looking for an other terrano this time a long wheel base 3.0lt of coarse and as new as possible with low mileage the thoughts behind this is 1/ 7 seats we have just adopted three kids 2/ I can service it and look after myself 3/ the wife likes driving my truck so she can have her own plus a lot of the newer 4*4 are getting so pricey crv in 2005 started at £18k now its more like £27k just can not justify that kind of out lay on a car ,any way will put up some photos when I get a chance .:lol:lol:lol
