Hi Everyone, I don't know if this is the right section to put out this post, but I'm in need of some help. I owned a 1994 Frontera a couple of years ago, and it was one of the best cars I have ever owned, I absolutely loved it but sadly had to give it up as I have M.E and most of the time I need an automatic, and on and off for the last couple of years have been trying to find one to replace my faithful steed. Yesterday I have finally come across one I like the look of and it sounds fantastic, but unfortunately being only a little frail girly, who doesn't know much about cars (actually not really, I'm not that little and I do a know a little more than most girls do), but I don't know enough of what to look for car of this caliber. Looking for the known problems such, (bulb replacing, wipers, and spark plugs easy peasy) but checking it all over to know whether it is as fantastic as it sounds or whether it is a pup, I do need some help with and wondered if anyone could possibly help me out. The Frontera is a 2000 V Reg 3.2 V6 Automatic with 107,000 Miles on the clock and is located in Watford. What I was wondering is if there was anyone located nearby there that would be willing to meet at the owners house in Watford and have a look around it for me, as I really have been looking for one like this for a long time and really don't want to miss the opportunity. If anyone could help me, or know of somebody that would be willing to help me out I would be most grateful. Kind regards. Alex.

Hi, thank you for the kind offer of the invite to the meet I would love to attend, however I might not actually have a Frontera by then, there not terribly easy to find which is a real shame, and at this moment in time I would only have my inferior Suzuki Grand Vitara to attend the meet in. When I do find myself a Frontera and I hope it is soon I really do miss my old one I would love to attend, although I don't know whether I am near to where the meet takes place the south east is a pretty big area and there are quite a few notcutts around. Anyway I'm finding out about a couple of Frontera's and might hopefully know more by the weekend so keep your fingers crossed for me that I have some luck and that someone doesn't take my chance away. Thanks again for the invite. Alex.

Hi Jammywagon, thank you for the offer of help I'm most grateful, everyone has been so kind. I have been speaking quite a bit to houndog about his car. I will also fill out a wanted ad as well as I really do want a replacement, the only Frontera though that I can really have is the 3.2 V6 Petrol as it is the only Petrol Auto, but I will put out the post. Also Bobby thank you for letting me know, I will fill in my profile, I thought that I had actually done that but your right there isn't anything. Cheers again for all the help. Alex.
