Potential Frontera Owner

Hi I’m Dave & from Hull

I’ve joined up as I’m looking at buying a colleagues 1995 2 litre Sport, and before I commit myself too much I’m wondering what sort of things I need to look for or be aware of before I part with the readies.

He says it’s the most reliable vehicle he’s ever owned (he’s had it 5 years), however he has told me that he thinks a bush by the front wheel needs replacing.

From the research I’ve done so far parts seem to be generally quite cheap, but I would appreciate a heads up on anything that might need doing – cam-belt change intervals etc, etc. I’m looking for a vehicle that will be reliable and last me a year or two. I certainly don’t want a ‘wallet-emptying-experience’ or to find Fronteras like this can be a money-pit.

BTW It’s done about 80,000 miles and he’s asking just short of a grand.

Hiya Dave

Sorry I cannot type as fast as Carl :oops:

thats different dan

Thanks for the welcomes and the guides.

Looks like it could be due a cam-belt change – anyone any ideas what sort of price I’m looking at for a replacement and how many hours labour might be involved? I want to factor this into the haggling (or is that being a bit greedy?)

Oh – I’ve asked the same q in the 2.0l petrol A Series forum – Hope this doesn’t cause any confusion.

hi and welcome

im a 2l 94 sport owner, best car i had, a couple of things to do to it.

but hey, when you buy a car this age, you have to expect a couple of things, whats the mileage on it. as a matter of interest, the noise you have at front right wheel. mine has just started to do the same, sounds like a bush has gone or something, going to ask the experts on here about it.

advice on here is second to none.

Welcome to the forum Davey

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.

Dont forget to check out the Guinness World Record attempt we are doing, we need more numbers so get involved, you wont regret it!

And this is it -

Nice looking truck
