New Today, Saying Hi, Also HELP Plz!!!!!!
by shell1965 on Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:56 am
Hubby & me just got a 2.3 lwb Frontera on a K Reg, seems to run nice but hubby said it felt a bit lumpy, take it uphill and it lost power quite bad, we've had it too our local garage guy he said there's a valve down anyway hubby's quite good with most stuff so he's stripped the top engine down, had a look n sorted it but the only thing is he don't know the torque settings for the tappets which were very loose? Could anybody plz help as we'd like to get it rebuilt too see if we've solved the problem, only got 3 weeks till we need to pull our caravan too Cornwall & want it running its best.
Cheers!!!!

Hi, Welcome and enjoy. I am not technically minded when it comes to fixing engines and so on but I am sure someone from the technical brigade will help you out, as soon as they read you question. ATB. Reeco

Thanks Dan!
Hopefully I'll be hanging around Frontera Owners for a while, we'd love to get ours running right, maybe this site will be-able to provide the answers!
Looking forward to many years of happy Frontera driving.

Hi ...welcome to FOG ...
if you're on about the "cam shaft pedestal retaining bolts" ...it's 30Nm/22lbf ft
best bet is to get yourselves a "Hanynes" for it ......it's usually quite good for repair and maintenance stuff (and for using as a beer/coffee stand)

Welcome, If you need to know anything about your fronty, someone on here will have the answer, they've never failed me yet and have already saved me £££££'s by detailing jobs i can do myself which normally i would pay a garage to do.
