Got our 1st Frontera.
(Mod edit. Pic resized. Dan)
Alfa Romeo 155 sold
VW camper T25 Sold
Vauxhall Vectra V6 Swopped
Now a Frontera. Wife loves to bits, although still throws it around like it is the Alfa 
a few bits and bobs to get sorted, but nothing major. Looking forward to a few meets. Never driven off road but my Wife can't wait to find some mud. (poor car) What are they like off road?

Looks clean but plenty to do to get it perfect, sounds like exhust is blowing. Had 2 rear sections recently so Manifold I suppose (it is a 2.2). Back hatch is very stiff not sure if that is normal. A bloody good service, leads, plugs, decent oil (what do others use?) Flush out cooling and replace. Also fan has been connected to run all the time so needs sorting out.
Apart from that, very happy.
Forum is great, just sent small donation, keep up the good work.

grease is the answer to the back door and hatch also lining up helps
get a grease gun and force loads of grease in the hinges
post 1995 have an habit of breaking hinghes which are NLS
The manifold is normal if you have a exhaust manufacturer near asjk if they can do a tubular one
A legend in my own mind

Hi dajwid
I would take the fan off first its very easy to do and check that the rad core is all there my motor is the same as yours but a year older and had cooling problems i found over half the core missing. Nice motor though.
Regards
