Hi from South Yorkshire by Old Grizzly on Thu Jan 24, 2013 12:48 pm
I'm Dave and I have just bought a 2001 Fronty 2.2 diesel auto.

My back is totally stuffed, along with half my innards and when my trusty old Vectra decided to shove the valves through the piston I decided to buy something I can actually get in and out of (without a winch :D ) and with a nice comfortable driving position. Frontera seems just the ticket. Also live half a mile from the nearest road so 4WD is long overdue.

Must be the genuine article cos you have to juggle light switches, trip set and just about everything else to get the speedo going. It will work, but only when warmed up and only with the side lights on - a job for warmer weather methinks.

My last 4WD was a 1949 Series1 Landy so the first thing I did was to look for the speedo cable .... daft old git!! :mrgreen:

I have a question about 2/4 WD switch - see General section

Cheers

Dave
