Hi All. I found you today because I'm off to look at a 1997 2.5 diesel Frontera tomorrow and I was wondering whether there is anything specific to look out for?

Currently our cars are a 2002 Rover 75 diesel estate which is used as a workhorse and a 1989 Mazda MX5 runabout but both of these are on British plates and getting them registered here in Portugal is cripplingly (and criminally) expensive. Portugal only has 3 standards for roads. Motorways, good National roads and dirt tracks so we've decided to look for something 4X4ish.

Looking forwards to your replies.

Hi mate!!! Welcome to the forum bud. Any Frontera is a great Frontera! Until they start playing up then we curse them. We still love them in the end though. The amount of people that have there trucks off the road and when they get them back they say they have driven round with a great big smile on their face!!!!!
They realy get under your skin.
