Indigent

Crazy. I am having the EXACT same problem in my 91 Terrano. It is only happening while moving. It also appears to be coming from the front passenger side (driver side for most of you, front left). It happens during acceleration, while turning, and during bumpy driving. I can induce the problem while driving by shaking the wheel left to right at around 40kph to 50kph. I am thinking my problem is the belt or the power steering. When the engine is off, and I pull and push on the belt, it makes some moaning sounds, so if that were sped up to about 2500 rpm, it could be it. I will change the belt, and do some lubing and post back on if it changed. If not, then I don't know what to do.

I get 20mpg in my td27t. It is awesome being in japan too because we pay about $4.50 us a gallon for diesel (115yen/liter). I LOVE MY TD27T. Acceleration is no problem with the shocks in sport and the A/T mode in Power, and the turbo on 3m. If I keep the tranny in hold mode (economy), turbo on 1, and shocks in touring, i get about 22 mpg. (500km to about 15 gallons or so) And, it is only a 500 plate. In japan, that means cheaper Inspections every 2 years, cheaper tolls, and cheaper yearly road tax. The VG30's are 300 plates here, which means more expensive everything! I LOVE MY TD27T!!!

I am in the Air Force, stationed in Japan. I recently bought a 1991 Terrano turbo diesel for $1500 US, and was wondering if anyone else around here has any experience with these TD27T engines. This is the first diesel I have ever owned, so I don't know very much about them. Other than that, I love this vehicle. It never gets stuck, and it is amazingly fun to drive.
