Hi and welcome!
Many of us have whining noises associated with our fronties - normally the missus complaining about the amount of time we spend on them

Bit offensive that I think. Is this how all new members get treated?

Thank you very much for that comprehensive reply. I will investigate all that you mention and report back for anyone else who may encounter a similar problem in the future. Sorry to mention the comments but I had assumed that until new members had become more familiar with the experts online that these sorts of comments would be withheld.
Again, many thanks for your time and advice
Carl

Hi Carl
Please accept our apologies if we offended you in any way
as Rangakoo said in an earlier post the banter can be a bit daunting to start with ...but you will get used to it
we like to try to make FOG a place where you needn't feel uneasy about posting ..
we're sorry if we didn't make it come across like that
Cheers Carl

Thank you for the friendly welcome. I have onther question
do you know where I can get a replacement exhaust system from?
3.2 V6 24v Frontera. I'm told I have to order direct from Vauxhall and that the back box is over £200.00 I cann't imagine how much the full system would cost.
