Hi Everyone, I've been lurking around the edge of this group for a while now picking up useful snippets. I had been looking for a 2.8 in good nick with sensible milage, but so has everyone it seems.........

Yesterday I bit the bullet and brought a P Reg 2.5 with 80k on the clock with full history.

I work full time as a Radio Network Mgr, but for the last 10 years have been a BORDA (British Off Road Driving Ass) Instructor, full time for the first 7 years & part time for the last 3.

I have owned and driven many makes of 4x4, so why a Fronty? Just fancy somthing different and I used to be part of the All Terrain Services Team that did the Vauxhall Driver Training, and became very impressed with the old beasts.... I am also hopping to spend a couple of weeks in the Pyrenees Mountains later this summer and would like to cruise at motorway speeds in comfort !

Look forward to talking to you later.

Regards Muddydog (Graham)

The old 2.5TDS same as the fronty my dad had from new back in 97. Which part of the country are you from mate?

Hi again and thanks for the warm welcome, I am based in SE London / Kent Boarders, on the side of Shooters Hill. Have a 1000+ questions on who how why where for bits and mods, but will have to wait for the new year.

So far my thoughts are, small lift 1-2in

Raised air intake (safari SS100HF fits I belive?).

Set of steel wheels with BFG AT or Possible Khumo MT as their not 2 aggressive, largest poss without cutting bodywork.

Extra lighting

Personally I am not a great winch lover, too much weight in the wrong place is the norm. I prefere good solid bumpers with recovery points and a turfor or similar.

But as always, everyone has their own veiw on whats their ideal, and wouldnt it be boring if they were all the same..........
