A very sad day indeed--Angelina is dead

[bobbinsjob]

Well all I can say is I'm gutted

After taking her to the workshop yesterday to investigate the oil pressure problem, I have found that aswell as the oil pump being goosed, the turbo is shot too.

So I have to think with my head and not my heart this time and cannot throw any more money at her so she will be broken and stripped of everything sellable before the scrapman comes to carry her carcass away.

I will post a link when the parts go on ebay... Any FOG members will rcieve a 10% discount from any Buy It Now prices

I'll still be on here tho and when funds allow, I will get another truck

Sorry to hear this Ian.

There are a number of Frontera’s that are synonymous with FOG, and “Angelina “was one of them.

It’s a sad day when the head eventually over rules the heart – but common sense must prevail eventually.

Gutted for you Ian, sounds a wise decision though in these hard times. Think you have breathed life into that truck for longe than alot of people would of. Always thought you would trade for a younger model sooner or later

[colley]

Bad news mate I am sure something will come up and it will all start again

[Retro Pedro]

Sorry to hear this Ian - gutted for yer m8.

Gutted to hear that Ian - are you looking to get another straight away or you having a break ? Just that there are some real bargains about at the moment.

You said straight swap G ? Gotta be cheaper pushing Ian's than it is fuelling yours

[MrTom]

Sorry mate. How much will it cost to rectify?

[JEOH]

Is this really going to happen - no chance of avoiding the end of a frontera's life?

Sorry to hear this Ian. Hope you will get an equal substitute - if that is possible...

RIP Angelina.....gutted for you Ian...



Below is a moment captured on Video I will always remember,

when Ian and Angelina first discovered "big air" and fully adopted the SE "only 3 wheels on the ground ever" policy last year!

(some idiot had been playing in a digger again! )




Click the pickie for the vid...


Hope you get something new soon Ian, anything I can do to help just ask bud...

[andytats]

Sorry to hear that Ian RIP angelina

[Krusher]

Damn thats bad news, looking on the bright side you can get a 2.8 now mate...

[jontera]

gutted for you mate..Angelina was one of my favorite trucks here..hope some of her will live on in other members trucks..

[4x4 bobby]

Ian it would cost you more to replace her than it would to get a second hand engine, unless you were to buy an "A" series Shorty!!! Weigh it all up before you decide because i know how much Angelina means to you and you would regret scrapping her if you did'nt have to!

Regards Bobster.
