Hi Just bought my first Frontera. Its a 2.2 petrol, 5 door. I've been faced with lots of "ooooh that was a bad idea" and sucked in cheeks telling me they have a record of tipping over, always going wrong, and its the worst thing I could have done and that I should sell Well, I dont know a great deal about cars but I know it's great for lugging the horses hay in, taking the cats to shows and I am hoping it will be strong enough to tow a trailer with the ponies in in the summer when we go to shows! So...........have I made the worse mistake of my life?!

Did you ever watch the 4x4 rollover test on 5th gear???? you won't get a fronty doing that at 45mph!!!!! they do have their faults but that's why we're all here to help each other and have fun in the process so may i be the first to welcome to the family of FOG

Hi Fizz, may I be the next to welcome you along to our mad loony bin. I bought my first Fronty last February and its the best car ive ever bought. Ive added a cut down bull bar and fogs, made a roofrack and added 4 spots to it, moved the spare up onto the rack and secured it, and fitted a CB. I love it mate, and as long as you keep it serviced regularly, you will be fine. Enjoy the world of the Fronty. you'll get loads of help and fun on here. Keith. (PP, all of a sudden I need you to solve my problem)
