Well - I have done it - signed up to trade my '91 Terrano for a Terrano II - just waiting on cash to come through - new one is lovely - will miss the old
grey girl though - taken us a lot of
places - got not much as a trade in but really couldn't afford to wait to sell private - trouble is I know that it will be in the yard for at least twice what they gave me - car salesmen!! scourge of the earth!

Congratulations!
I have a Terrano 2 TDI, is yours also diesel? If it is I would be very interested to keep in touch to compare performance, economy etc.
I am very happy with
mine, it certainly tows a very heavy duty camper trailer easily.
Only disappointment has been poor airflow throught the cabin, but I have been advised on this
forum that there is a replaceable air filter in the system that is most likely clogged. I ordered a new one today.....$76.00 OUCH!

Jules,
hello form Turkey as a new comer. I think it is time to have the fun of driving new Terrano, and forget the cash.
I have a 98 Terrano II 27TDi, too. It is quite uncommon in the part of the country where I live. But I am lucky (?) there is an offical service
shop in the town.
I would like to share my MAF story and ask any similar experience to the
forum: Two months ago, I felt some power loss, at the end of various diagnostic efforts, the local mechanic told me the symptoms exactly ( it was my first visit about the subject)
-power loss during climbing (down shifting)
-low acceleration
and he told me that " we will connect consult and
check MAF voltage it wont go up 4 volts even 4000 rpm" he was right, maximum voltage was 3.7.
After changing MAF it easily passes 3.7 and I feel the power.

Scancan
Welcome to exploreoz
It's always great to hear from fellow 4X4 enthusiasts from other parts of the world.
Do you do any off-road driving?
I hear that Turkey is a very beautiful country.
Australians generally know very little about your country so please feel free to contribute regularly.
Cheers

Sorry Shaker,
while surfing on the net about the subject, I really used to speek three letter English. MAF is mass air flow sensor. In my car it is a wire has been kept at constant temperature, thus the required energy ( electricity) is measured to know how much air mass sucked in.
I am afraid this part ( a Bosch made) has a limited life.
It is just after the inlet air filter on the duct.
Any search engine will give enough links if you type "maf sensor"
Hope it helps.
