Need abit of info please guys

[cav]

Hi all thinking of buying a Frontera but dont know what kind would be best for me.
If i buy one it will only be a run about but needs to seat 5 so it looks like its the lwb for me. I dont go that far from home and the only real ride it will have is to go to France in the summer. Ive also seen this on Ebay and ive feel in love with the shape, so can anyone tell me what mk it is please ?





Thanks for any info and views you share

Thats a late A serise and a 2.5 if Im not mistaken ?

She is an A, made for a short spell about a year, its got a similar dash to B's but not quiet. Most parts are the same as coil sprung A's but they do have the occasional unique part neither A or B. Its not a negative that would scare me off having one, just worth noting when getting parts, you need to know the person flicking through lists gets the right year.

What engine is it?

It will seat 5 easy, plenty of boot to. The SWB is a 4 seater only.

Drift using telepathy here, or is there something I havent noticed?

Just a guess, kinda looks 2.5ish

[cav]

Its a 2.2 here is the listing

Ive spent all day looking around at them and i like how the interior is on this one

[Drift]

Darn it 2.2

[cav]

Nice try

Any late 1995 onwards Frontera should have that dash.

Main point to look out for is rear leaking diff plate and split exhaust manifold, also any low down knocking noises from the engine, also let the temp rise see where it settles.

I had a November 96 2.2 with the old dash, but it was a true LTD diamond, full leather A/C and lecy sun roof, all the toys, and accessories.

Thanks Drift
Will the "95" onwards have the same sort of seats too as they look thicker than other ones ive seen
Thanks for the heads up on what to look out for too bud

[Drift]

Yup, the seats are better on the later model

Sorry thought Drift was using special powers to find the engine type.

Spend much time round here and you get used to topics drifting
