Just popped the bonnet in my Terrano and noticed a slight oil leak. See attached photos. It’s coming out of the small hose with foam around it going in the the bowl in the photo. Any ideas what this is from and if still ok to drive for few days until get it fixed
Cheers in advance

Hi guys. I have a Nissan Terrano which got an engine transplant just over 12 months ago. It has been running great ever since apart from one issue. It starts to overheat on slow steep climbs. This happened 12 months ago climbing a shingle track. Approx 20 mins steepish climb doing between 15-30km pe...

My truck just failed wof on lower inner suspension bushes. I bought the bushes today and am planning to replace these myself to save a few bucks. Is this a big job? Is it difficult to remove the control arm and does cv joint get in way. If stuck I will get someone to press out the bushes but looking...

Thanks for the info. I'll swap the starters and hopefully solve the problem

Bit of advice needed. I posted a few weeks back that my Terrano blew up in style and I found a rolled Terrano and was planning to do an engine swap. Some people were saying to stay away from the rolled engine and other though it might be ok. Anyway engine is and and its running like a dream (fingers...

Walk/Run away! Put it at the bottom of your list of possibles. Unless you can hear it start from cold don't buy it. If you can't get to start it from cold, or the nice mechanic selling the rolled wagon, then its most likely going to be more trouble than its worth. If you really must buy this one th...

I posted last week how my terrano suffered engine over run. What a sight it was closing 4 lanes of traffic plus I only owned it 6 weeks. I had a tough decision to make, get another truck around 6-8k which I can't really afford or engine replacement. I found a terrano on trademe (insurance right-off)...

What engine was it mate 2.7 3.0 or 3.2 ? 3.2. Got confirmation Monday it was a right-off. Previous own put an electric pump on. Mechanic thinks they would have been having problems starting it cause pump was in way out and this is a cheap fix. Seems the electric pump was pumping full time so engine...

Driving home today and suddenly the car started to rev excessively. I then couldn't get the car stopped. It reved flat out for about 2 mins until suddenly it stopped. The smoke stopped 4 lanes of traffic. I have just got it towed to my mechanic for him to look at Monday. It has sprayed some oil arou...

Was doing about 90kpm today and put foot down to overtake. When I looked in the mirror the was a cloud of white smoke. Filled the road it was that bad. Pulled over straight away and turned it off. I was in no mans land so started it again and drove it about a km. It drove fine with no smoke as if ev...

I am looking to lift my 97 terrano. Nothing it. May 1-2 inch. I have read about about adjusting the torsion bars. I had a look under and can seem to find them. Am I right in thinking these models don't have them or am I being stupid.

Not a bad idea. I'll give this a try at the weekend and see how it goes

I posted this the other day but I think it was in the wrong topic area. Bought a 97 terrano and the driver door has sag. Bushes must be gone. On this model it's not possible to but a bushing kit and pin as the hinge is all one. Cockram nissan Christchurch has quoted $115 per hinge.this seems crazy. ...

Is it a WD21? images.jpg Or an R50? images (1).jpg If it's the former bushes and pins are listed on Trademe, cheapies and genuine Nissan The latter I'm pretty sure don't have replacable bushes so you'll need to buy the whole hinge assemblies Thanks. It's the R50 model. I wonder is it possible to gr...

Would any one be able to give me some advice. Just bought a 97 Nissan terrano and the drivers door has door sag. Seems like the bushes are flogged out. So I went to super cheap auto thinking I could just pick up a set of bushes and a pin but they hardly knew what I was talking about never mind where...
