My First "Fronty" by KiwiJ on Tue Apr 01, 2008 9:29 am
Hi All,

I havent had the pleasure of 4WD'ing since i left my homeland (NZ) and have just bought myself a Frontera! Initially to transport our dogs about but with a hidden agenda :dance: :) (missus will love it once she's tried it :roll: ) - haha!

Anyway, just introducing myself, i've never had a Frontera before so you'll probably hear from me when i need assistance of sorts and this looked like the best place to get it :lol: Especially as a week in i've already found my dash lights all out and my speedo intermittent :shock:

Well - i'm going to sift through the site and check out some pics and events!

Talk soon

Hi

Thanks

I got a '99 5dr 2.2 ltd petrol one - no mods so lots to get stuck into :)

It's a tidy motor and had reasonably low mileage 69,900 ish but after noticing the dodgy speedo i dont believe its genuine. No problem runs welll just, like a said, a few minor glitches to sort out :)

Cheers Guys
