Newbie in Christchurch

Post by da_scouser »

Hey

Have read quite a few topics on here in the last few months thought i would Join. Have not long ago purchased a 91 Terrano after having my landcrusier stolen!! (i now have fully comp insurance)

Looking to get tips, tricks etc off here, seems pretty good site.

Like to go for trips as often as I can. Keen to join in with others at some stage too.

Welcome. A few features on that truck look familiar. Best choice as no one steals Terranos.
Looks like it has a few mods 8)
You'll have to show us under the bonnet and the steering to see if it has the right components that make it a bit more durable.

Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

Steering linkages, intercooler? and any other truck pornographic things :P
If it is running higher boost and/or fuel then a few instruments would be on the cards to safe guard engine longevity.
