Helo mate, the 2.2 will be a coiler. I belive they did suffer with a weak bottom end but Sir Doris is the know all on the 2.2 so will leave to his superior knowledge

All Fronty's are good offroad and yep im biased just a little, you'll find most of us are nuts where are trucks are concerned. They grow on you and then its a love affair and scraped nuckles. You will find it a big difference driving it compared with a car. I drive a Golf to work most days but if i get the excuse i drive the Fronty !!! Go for it mate you will love the experiance and any problems you encounter can be sorted with the aid o FOG.
Regards Bobster.

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...

Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
