delburt0 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) i have let my terrano go as i discovered when i took it for the test that both of the front hubs were not working hence getting stood in 1 inch of snow the other day, and also a few holes sprung up around the seat belts and sills i think it might be a bit of a mid-life crisis but i have bought a 51 plate jag 2.5 petrol se model all the toys electric seats full leather ect. 4x4 model, drove back from wales 140 miles averaged 38mpg drives mint full jag history 2 owners a snip at £800.00 just wondering they are a glorified 4 wheel drive mondeo. but just pointing out i would rather have 800.00 in one of these than a lot of other 4x4s not doing as much on the land and this will suffice for what i want, when its stubble time its the wife's Peugeot that i go in . im happy anyway your views appreciated... atb delburt0 Edited February 7, 2013 by delburt0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canis Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Had an 02 2.1SE for 3 years also a friend liked mine so got one. if those robbing $%£"!£$"s politicians didn't charge so much tax on petrol i'd still own it . its underpinjnings are all straight from rthe Ford parts bin - it share the drive train with the 24 valve mondeo. but lovely comfort , birds eye maple veneer looks the mutts's I dont believe the fuel return weas correct - mine only ever did 30mpg when doing 60mph usual return was 19-23 mpg. The auto gearboxes seem to be a weakness and when they go (about every 70 thousand miles ) the bill is twice what you paid for the car . whenever anything broke the broken part allways seemend to have "ford" stamped on it .

delburt0 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) its a manual and the brother in laws a ford tech so no probs there, petrol light was on when i got it i put £25.00 to get me home and i have done 145 miles and light has just come on so happy with that , id have a guess at 33 - 38 ish combined was showing more yesterday on motorway , but dropped to 33.5 nipping around today , putting the petrol in doesnt bother me i had a v8 jeep overland b4 the terrano that was 17mpg , the performance and interior more than made up for running....

fuzzypigeon Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) i have a 53 plate one which she uses and i borrow since i got rid of the 4x4 and never replaced it, had it 3-4 years now put 50,000 on it in that time its only ever given me 2 problems 1st was a bad circuit on the wipers (fuse kept blowing) and the other was a engine management light for the sensors in the exhaust each time i put it on the decoder it told me it was a different sensor i n the end i changed all of them. nice little motor but i'm getting rid this year as i want something for shooting again Edited February 8, 2013 by fuzzypigeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
