well my Frontera days are finally over, the top left hand axle steady bar has pulled out of the chassis and the top left hand suspension spring mount has completely come off due to rust and is resting on the boot floor, have no job and no money to get the Fronty repaired so the scrap man is giving me £300 for her, so its now the bus and shanks mare.
Good bye and good luck to all its been interesting fourteen years of ownership at least.
Good bye Gentlemen

Good bye Gentlemen

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Lets hope things get better this year.
Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Once a Fogger always a Fogger, you can still join in with the banter and help is always on here for anything you care to ask. Hang about a bit, you may get another Fronty when things get better.
