Mmm... Some strange, others positively weird but everyone really helpfull....
Joking apart, needed something for work that was reliable, 4x4, a fair load capacity and some reasembalnce of driver comfort. Having done some research on line and 20 odd years of driving the HM's green ovals I came to the conclusion that the 2.8 ticked all boxes.
I found this site while doing the online research and before I bought the Truck(s), the rest is as they say history and here we are....
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered  ) Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left hereWork in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'Truck'Comments on 'Truck' the truck may be left hereOwning a 2.8 is a hobby in it's self...

Hi,
I'm a new member, I bought a 2003 Frontera 2.2DTi Olympus. After I got it home I had a warning light and I did a Google search for the fault and foung the FOC site. I imediately signed up.
Have 2 faults showing:
1. EGR
2. Vacuum Solenoid
Questions:
1. Do I remove the EGR with a blanking kit?
2. Is it worth replacing the vacuum pipes first?
Thanks,
Mike

Did a Google search, looking for help with limp mode fault on my recent purchase. Fantastic advice on here. Looking forward to sorting the Frontera and enjoy driving it instead of fiddling with it.
