Hi all my name is Simon and I currently run a 300tdi disco, I'm selling it and I'm looking for a new project and thought a frontera would be a good idea as it fits nicely between at disco and vitara which is what I had before the disco. The only issue I've got is what’s the best one to go for as I know nothing about them, can anyone advise?
Regards
Si

Series A 2.8 LWB.
Coil suspension at back. Front torsion bars at front. Plenty of room inside. Returns 30+ mpg regardless of what you do to it. No ECU or electronics to go wrong. The 2.8 is the Isuzu lump as fitted to early Troopers so you being a Landy owner will probably know that engine is fitted in a lot of Landys as a mod.

I replaced my 300tdi with the A series 2.8 lwb and can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did

Hi and welcome to the forum! My personal choice would be the "A" series 2.8TDi but saying that the 2.0ltr Sport can hold its own off road.

Hi, I have the 2.5 td 97' and it does me well with no complaints, iv had fun off road with a mate in his jacked up disco and apart from the obvious clearance and noticing the disco having more torque i pretty much went where he did 
Only one issue with the 2.5.. parts are a little more expensive as it is different with a lot of its parts compared to all other Fronty's.
Have fun
