Fitted cruse control works great too
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thats not good news Andy...that will be a spanner party in Harlow then, will have to see if we can muster the "redneck ant-hill mob" to come up and give you a hand.
Something Jason was saying the other day, is that it would be worth cleaning out all your breathers as this can cause the crankshaft seal to fail as pressure tries to find the easiest way out...deffo worth checking and doing I reckon..

Re: WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY! by fudge on Sat May 07, 2011 4:41 pm
andy i have the same problem at the mo, or i hope it is that seal. i have got it, now just needing to put it in,

but i am bidding on a new clutch kit on the bay at the mo, so hopefully will be doing that as well
if i get the clutch at the price i wanna pay it will be £50 all in for clutch kit and seal, so not bad, but i do have a nice oil patch on the road where i park mine :mrgreen:

and i have just made myself another frontera, took about 10 mins. cutting and glueing it together

Examined mine for rain water leaks at the rear side windows - n/side bone dry, drivers side, one small weep. Not bad for torrential downpours through the night and this afternoon. Certainly pays to scrub those seals out.
