Frontera Technical Support

new to the forum and i hope this is in the right place, brought my lovely frontera about two weeks ago,(its only a 1993 model swb)and its brill dont think i've had a better 4x4, well my help is does anyone know where i can get a owners manual from as the last keeper of the car did'nt have one?? wouldn't ask but i have no idea how to put the car into 4 wd,also i was told when you take the car out of 4wd you have to reverse it a few yards so it does not damage the gear box is this true?? and also is it just the roof that comes off?? sorry about all the questions as i'v never owned one before not sure about all the bits and bobs

4wd is easy its next to gearbox lol depends what you want to do ... NEVER use it in 4wd on hard ground ... ie road surfaces etc and yes your supposed to reverse till you hear the clicking sound (which mine doesn't as i've taken front locking springs out so its better off road) when putting it back into 2wd! :wink:

Others will be along to give better help soon! :lol:

haynes manual is a better start we have access to later ones but sure someone will find one

as for 4wd here is the info

the 4wd info is usually under the drivers sun visor
