Hey all, im new to the site as a member but been on a few times, just bought my fantastic looking frontera b unfortunatly thats all it is at the moment drives and runs well not really at all 2.2 sport rs. I am a mechanic and own a small garage in stockport like really small and find this site awesome!!!! The problems my little tera has at the moment are:
Exhaust mid section is kaput
usual speedo problems but i think ill try get involved with that any one suceeded on there own or all done by electrical wizards?
head gasket!!!!!!! hooray I will keep you guys posted as the car comes to its magical state of oneness.
oh yeh it has an lpg conversion thats well to damn rich over juicin it and conking out think its the diaphram seals but lpg's not my forte.
also taken it laning mega much betta than my old landy and that says something.
Nice to be on here look forward to talkin nuts and bolts

Cheers guys there's one real thing that I struggle with is there seems to be no other source of brand new vauxhall parts apart from the main agents, in my area theres normally at least one other company which provides main dealer bits at discount prices but so far nada.
About to crack on with the good old head gasket wish me look that its the car that looses its head and not me.
