Another new member, got a 2.8 lwb, had it two years now, apart from a new rad this is the first time it has been a problem, it is a 1996 model , all vehicles should be this reliable. Glad I found this forum, I shall be a regular visitor now.I guess I rank as an older driver now having just passed my 80th birthday (got a few years left yet I hope). Also got a Mercedes and a Fiat coupe. Drive the Frontera most of the time.
