Hello from Bristol

Postby KarlBristol on Thu Jan 15, 2015 8:34 pm

Hello,

I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Karl and I've just bought a 1998 2.2 LWB A Frontera. I'm making the switch back to cars from motorbikes and thought the Frontera would fit my needs perfectly.

It's a bit of a dog and needs a substantial amount of work. I only bought her yesterday and no sooner had I driven away than the engine management light came on :oh yer:

She's going to undergo a full service with the extra bits as well on my drive this weekend in the hope it solves some of the issues. I've already spent the day sorting sticking locks, lights and a few other minor little bits whilst all my service items are on order.

Anyway enough of my blabbing - I look forward to speaking to and meeting some of you, and picking your brains about the issues with my car :crazy: :lol:

I also look forward to some greenlaning once I've done a full switch out with brand new suspension and brakes.

Uhhh, Bristol maybe?? :butt:

Welcome to the forum Karl, hopefully you'll find us a friendly bunch and a good source of help to sort your car out.
I'm only just up the road in Stroud, and there's other members not that far from your neck of the woods either, so no need to feel too alone. I've had a couple of the 2.2 petrol cars myself before going to the dark side, so I know they can be a little temperamental, hopefully a little TLC will have her fixed up again before too long.

Good luck :wink:

As already said, welcome to the Forum Karl, noting that your in Bristol I'm just down the big road at Brize.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
