Help with buying a new Frontty ???

[Huwwalford]

"Huwwalford" Main mistake is your better off with a B

Sorry Ste,

What I should have added was, unless you are technically minded with regards to Fronty's, B is your best option.

Just me being a simpleton

Huw.

OMG....I must be tired even my quotes have gone astray....

Nighty Night

You need a computer to find out what wrong with most of the B's

You need a humam for the A's

Again, Thanks for your advice gents.

I will start scouring the net / dealers and see what i can get.

Im not that worried about the 2.8 sounding like a tractor, i now live in Devon and might fit in with the locals

And as to that greeny colour, thats ok, My current swb is Aqua green.

I will let you know what i get and keep you upto date on the repairs / upgrades on my current swb....Particularly as my 18yr son wants the swb...He is now hooked on them as well

[Red Oktober]

Get him to sign up on here ...it will help him to llearn about our cars too ..then he'll be able to help you and vice verca



Also ....theres not many 2.8's knocking about down here ...plenty of 2.0 SWB's and 2.2i (petrols) tho

[Dalov]

He sometimes logs onto my account..But you know what its like at that age...He has the memory retention of a goldfish if it doesnt involve, Playing football, Girls or Beer and not necessarily in that order

Im definatley looking for a LWB and Diesel, im not a great fan of petrol and apart from that they tend to choke easier in the deeper water

[Dalov]

Ok, i have found one i like the look of...But....It says it is a 2.5 td...Its on a 1998 Frontera Transglobe...Is that engine size possible or have they got it wrong ?

[john (smifffy)]

you can get 2.5 so you are not wrong there


what sort of price are they after for it

[Icy Malt]

I also have air-con fitted, but the Transglobe was a limited edition too

I've got a 2.8tdi LWB ..if you want to look at one in depth ..

let me know

[Dalov]

Its a 1998, 2.5tds Transglobe with aircon.

Mileage is little concern at 120k...should this worry me too much. I had a Diesel Vectra in the past that had 180k and drove like new

It has FSH, 12 months MOT

They are asking £1995

I havent been to tyre kick it yet but the pictures shows it in superb condition body wise

[john (smifffy)]

thats not to bad a price there is a 96 on P plate thats going for 2.5k round our way

[Dalov]

Im Just waiting for a few pics of the interior then i may very well pop along tomorrow and make them an offer

[Drift]

Give the 2.5 a good long test drive, let it tick over to full temp, and if there engine light comes on walk away.

[Dalov]

Thanks for the advice, what does the engine light signify if it comes on after warming up ...an engine management problem ?

I only ask so i can tell the guy why im walking away

[Drift]

The 2.5 is a very techi engine involving alot of electrics, so it could mean numerous problems that you would need to get read with a code reader.

Some faults could be simple to fix others hard to fix.

Just aint worth the grief lol

[Dalov]

Cheers mate, i will definatley keep that in mind.
