Hi, I'm just over the border to you - welcome it's a great knowledgeable club.
This was cribbed from elsewhere

A Series Fronteras - 1991 to 1998
Petrol 2.0, 2.2 & 2.4 Diesel 2.3, 2.5 & 2.8

B Series Fronteras - 1998 to 2005
Petrol 2.2 & 3.2 Diesel 2.2

B series have switch for Hi 4wd. Little button on the dash to the left of the steering wheel

A series have levers to move. (Auto or Manual hubs fitted as well)
Defo SWB!

ah thanks for the reply, this should make it easier locating parts for them.

i think i got a steal on this one, i only paid £650 and its clean and drives so smooth.

quick question i just bought some l200 wheels for this, now do i need to use spigot rings or anything ?

You don't need spigot rings, you need the tube nuts that go with the wheels. The tube nuts centre the rim on the hub. Don't use the fronty wheel nuts as these have a tapered face which the L200 wheel is not designed to take.
