Daany Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi I'm looking at a 06 plate terrano does any 1 have any reviews on them it's a van back I'm after, iv looked in to pick up both l200 and d22 and can honestly say, what iv read is really of putting, my old man had the swb ford maverick and it's a cracking car pulls you thought anything, and he's converted the back in to a van back now, and you can't fault it, my main concern was if the terrano was the same engine as the d22 thanks for any help you could give Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 On a 06 it could be either the 2.7 tdi, which is the same as the d22 or more likely the 3.0 tdi, again a very good engine with a fair bit more power than the 2.7. I have a 2001 Terrano 2.7 and really think they are an under rated truck, but that's good as you get a lot of truck for not a lot of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITCHF Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Ditto SP3. I've had 3 LR Disco's, a Shogun 2.8td , a 3.0TD Trooper and a Suzuki Grand Vit 2.0Td Bought a SWB Terrano 2, 2.7TDI earlier this year and it's brilliant, I would not hesitate.

Daany Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Iv looked at a few now any there a total rott box underneath wich is a real shame as they look a good sturdy engine, I'm considering a freelander and put so all taraine tyres on it, I dnt want it for serious off road, mainly to put labs in and get me through some mud when out shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You open up a can of worms buying a free lander mate, a truck with a very dodgy reliability history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITCHF Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 No rot on mine and it's a '98, find a good one and waxoil it. Don't get the logic of potentially not buying a Terrano due to rot, then buying a Landrover vehicle instead Shop around mate, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 No rot on mine either, 99 model, never missed a beat in the two years I've had it. My neighbour's freelander, on the the other hand.... He's had nothing but trouble, he's sold it now, to some poor sod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'd be fibbing if I said there was no rot on mine but it was cheap as chips, looks half decent and will go anywhere I ask it to. Mine came with new tyres and MOT and at the price I paid it only had to last a year to be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daany Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Maybe iv just picked a few bad ones to look at but il keep looking till I find a good 1 I'm du to look at 56 plate van back but it's done 135 thousand miles and owned by a phone company so wouldn't say it's had to much stick manly motorway miles and if need be a cross a feild to a phone mask, I don't no what sort of mileage you Lads gave on yours and what sort of milage they tend to end to the scrap yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfireboy Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 The 2.7tdi engine is the same as in the black cabs so shouldn't have too many worries about longevity there. Gear driven cams also, no cam belt or chain to bother about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Hi Danny What sort of money you looking at spending? If your happy to go a bit older you can pick up some bargains as they are basically the same car from about 2000 onwards. Mine has half that mileage and is an X reg. If its a phone company that wont necessarily mean motorway mileage, only works out about 75 miles a day and that could easily be around towns or country roads. Also if its driven like you normally see people driving company vans it would of been doing 85mph on the motorway all the time- max speed is only about 93 not that i have tried :unsure: . As for mileages though I bought the truck as i do a lot miles and spent a fortune on normal cars but have seen terranos do well in excess of 200,000 miles.

39TDS Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Think mine just rolled over 129k. Forgot to mention I am a farmer and expect it to go in some pretty iffy places at times. Only thing I don't like about the newer ones is the "fly by wire" accelerator, wouldn't stop me buying one but do prefer the finer control of cable. The engines are fitted to black cabs but are not indestructable. I should know, I destroyed one. Edited July 9, 2012 by 39TDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daany Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 iv had the Terrano on a 56 plate and got to admit I'm very impressed I dnt think I could fault it in any way, best move iv ever done going from a car to the truck, just beef some sensible tyres now that's going to pull through some pretty bad places when shooting and going to be good on the road, thanks for all the advice, * need* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have got a 2006 Terrano 3.0 DI. Mine was a van back but I added rear seats. It has air con and Japanese reliability. I have added a high performance air filter and had the ECU remapped. It is a very reliable truck and it absolutely flies. If I chose to, it would sit at 110 mph all day long. I look at Defenders and like the look but when I do the maths I could have newer two Terranos for the same as one older Defender. It just doesn't stack up.
