that looks a long read :lol:

Will look at that in the morning thanks ( im on the beer right now )
Went to look a Frontera tonight as i was told one was for sale but he didnt know if it was swb or lwb, turned out to be a swb. I have to say i liked it alot but we need a lwb. Before i went to see the car i was told the frontera b ( i think thats the one i want has the nice dash and seats ) had the rear door on hinges not on hangers well after seeing this one tonight i think some one's been lieing to me as it had the old dash but the rear door was on hinges, it was a m reg

A Series up to September 1998, B Series thereafter.

Early A's are leaf sprung at the rear, Late A's (From May 1995) are coil sprung. Late A's also got the smooth dash in late 1996.

Thanks pal
So i will be looking for the late A then like in the pic i put up

Yup usually anything after a P reg :wink:

VX probably facelifted the dash in time for the August registration to try and sell a few more before the B came out a couple of years later.

Also, did this not coincide with the new engine ranges having lost the 2.8 to the 2.5.

I have to ask is the late A, a good car to own ?
I REALY want one now, i feel like a 10 year old in a sweat shop lol

Im going be be asking about the engines next :lol:

hi ya just to lighten the mood :drink:

As ive said ive came from the Cavalier / Vectra and always owned the GSI/SRI and CDX becuse they was the ones to own with the GSI/SRi for the power and CDX for all the toys. What the best Frontera to own ( meaning with the most toys dont care about power nowaday just want toys and a good mpg )

I dont think you can get Diamond (all toys) with later dash, so you will need to choose from nicer dash and nicer toys :lol:

All in all it will be great car, and whenever it will be 2.2 or facelift v6 you will be suprised how nice is to drive such big truck!

Find someone more local to you with LWB and ask him to take you for a ride (even on a firm road) :mrgreen:

Oooh, and enjoy your beer! :drink:

The latest model possible the V6's and 2.2tdi's are very gadgety :lol:

Basic means nothing breaks, thats my excuse :lol:

Who needs leather or aircon, when you have got proper 4-by-4!

Im pretty sure, that all 2.2 Ecotecs have been fitted with aircon too! Every fronty have got fitted front el windows, el heated mirrors. Later dash will mean airbag. Rear el windows and el sunroof plus leather on Diamond (plus chrome bars).

leather or aircon i dont car about that just want air bags a 4 el windows
