Welcome, If you need to know anything about your fronty, someone on here will have the answer, they've never failed me yet and have already saved me £££££'s by detailing jobs i can do myself which normally i would pay a garage to do.

Dont forget to check out the Guinness World Record attempt we are doing, we need more numbers so get involved, you wont regret it!

welcome mate , everything you need to know is in here .

Hi Mate, Welcome and enjoy, this is my humble opinion. It all depends on what you want it for, if you are going to do a lot of mileage or pull regular weight I would get a 2.8 TDi, SWB lol, I am biased, I get over 30 around town in mine.

You would pick a nice one up for £ 1,700 - 2,000.

If you want something you can abuse and have some fun with you will pick up a 2.0 petrol one for around £ 7 - 800.

Regarding known faults, I can't help you there, as I don't have a lot of knowledge. Good Luck with your search and if you want one of the tech team to help you look over the Fronty they will for a small fee, I did it and at least I knew what I was buying, thanks to Mike C, Steve 1 and Pete Admin.

Also check this one out mate:

HERE

It's a list of things to check when your going to look at a new car whether it be Fronty or not, and also it's written by me with a 2.0i SWB Petrol, but it's the same sort of stuff as a 2.8, just things might be in different places

Good luck.
