Hi...I have had 1994 2.4i LWB from new...now at 76000 mls. Maintained and repaired it myself....serviced every 3000-4500 mls.Because it is more and more difficult to get spare parts and age (69yrs) slowing me up, I was close to "scrapping" in against something more modern last month...when I had a "non-start" which has been difficult to diagnose...occuring twice in last 4 months.
Bought new bits...battery,now alternator and starter motor. All Ok at the moment,fingers crossed, so I have given my fronty a reprieve for the time being.
Has served me well,towing caravan... Uk and around France and to Spain 7-8 times with no problems.
So thought joining FronteraOwners might help me to "hang in", and extend the life of my vehicle.
Regards Dion

hi and welcome,
just to let you in on a small secret, the 2.4 petrol shares a lot of parts with the 2.3 diesel, in water pump, alternator, oil pump, basically, every thing below the head,
