Hello from stoke! by seanyb on Fri Nov 06, 2009 2:54 pm
Hi guys I'm new to frontera ownership picked up a 2003 2.2dti a week just gone and love it to bits I'm only 22yrs old but promised myself one as we used go away in a 1996 2.4 petrol towing when it was brand new! one thing I think I'm having problems with is engaging first gear as I pull away it jumps out and leaves me stranded until I have another go any ideas? Thanks.
