Frontera Technical Support • View topic

Hi

Just bought my first Frontera. Its a 2.2 petrol, 5 door.

I've been faced with lots of "ooooh that was a bad idea" and sucked in cheeks telling me they have a record of tipping over, always going wrong, and its the worst thing I could have done and that I should sell

Well, I dont know a great deal about cars but I know it's great for lugging the horses hay in, taking the cats to shows and I am hoping it will be strong enough to tow a trailer with the ponies in in the summer when we go to shows!

So...........have I made the worse mistake of my life?!

Did you ever watch the 4x4 rollover test on 5th gear???? you won't get a fronty doing that at 45mph!!!!! they do have their faults but that's why we're all here to help each other and have fun in the process so may i be the first to welcome to the family of FOG

Livewire Frontera

I didnt see it, but if you give me some more info on it I can arm myself with that next time someone tells me it was a bad idea

Thank you for the welcome!

Try you tube it may be there it was a 1991 Range rover at 45Mph it rolled i think it was several times frontera's are lower centre of gravity and wider track

Hi Fizz, may I be the next to welcome you along to our mad loony bin.
I bought my first Fronty last February and its the best car ive ever bought. Ive added a cut down bull bar and fogs, made a roofrack and added 4 spots to it, moved the spare up onto the rack and secured it, and fitted a CB.
I love it mate, and as long as you keep it serviced regularly, you will be fine.
Enjoy the world of the Fronty.

you'll get loads of help and fun on here.
Keith.

(PP, all of a sudden I need you to solve my problem) :lol:

Awwww thank you! I feel at home already!

Thats the first reason I ever looked at the fronty when I wanted a 4x4 was the wider wheel base, so in theory not as difficult to turn over, and I've done it in cars so it was a BIG selection reason, and while I have had it on 2 wheels :oops:
