Thanks from past experience of my frontera check fuel lines and break lines, they seem to fail badly on fronteras with corrosion. also check the electrics as these fail quite abit, especially imobiliser & locking & windows. Otherwise check for the usual rot and rust on the bodywork. I do miss my frontera and if i spotted another with no faults i would snap it up.

BrowningDJC Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 The 8v engines seemed to be a lot better than the later ecotecs, so if thinking of a frontera may be a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver pigeon 3 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have got a 2.8tdi 1998 frontera and it is a brilliant bit of kit, Had it for about 3 years and only had to do normal service items like brakes etc, Never failed its MOT and i will keep it until it dies!!
