Looking for advice and reassurance

Postby Midlander on Sat Apr 09, 2011 11:22 am

Hello Chaps,
I've not been on here for a while....Mainly due to the lack of a Frontera,....However.

I'm looking to get back into one...Namely a B Series 2.2dti engined version.

Now I've spent a while reading through various Threads and posts regarding the B Series and The 2.2dti engine variants on here.
and I've noticed that there seems to be a recurring theme regarding some common faults....notably the Dash board clocks, Injector Pump, Leak off pipes to the injectors.
The other Item I'm concerned about is the DM Flywheel.

So with all that in mind, What is the likely hood of one or more of these faults occurring on A vehicle I may purchase?, and is there a way of checking to see if any rectification work has been carried out if supporting paperwork for such repairs and or modifications has been carried out in the past?

I'm thinking of looking at a 2.2dti on a W plate with 124,000mls on the clock.
any tips as to spotting potential faults or evidence of repairs would be much appreciated as I'd love another Fronty, as according to the Wife....the other available 4x4's dont look "Trucky" enough LOL (Womens terminoligy....gotta love it)

Thanks in advance.....

No way to know without supporting docs.

Wouldn't buy one with 124k without proof of previous pump replacement.

DMF if on it's way out will cause a vibration on take off

Leak off's and vac pipes are pennies and not an issue.
