Frontera July 2005 - March 2006 R.I.P.

(1/7) > >>

Barry Scott:
Well I went to see family in Oxford this week, left in the Frontera came home in a Proton.  As I got near my brothers I noticed the fuel pressure dropping and when I got there it had redlined.  I dipped it and it was empty, I then topped it up and started it again and it was smoking like a 14 year old outside the local off licence.


I have been told it was terminal so I bought my brothers old Proton to keep me mobile.

Hopefully in the future (depending on funds) I will be able to get myself another 4x4 to get my mud fix.

Here is my tribute.

EDIT: Fuel pressure should read oil pressure

Barry,

I will wear a black armband for a week out of respect for Guinness.

But you must look to the future, and make sure you get the right colour and shape to the badge this time  :wink:

Erm, I think that'd be OIL pressure!!, You ARE meant to check it weekly y'know!!!, not suprised it gave up and died if that's how you've treated it!! It can't have just 'gone' you'd have noticed the oilsmoke!![/horrified car lover mode]

Sounds like the piston rings are shot if it's smoking like that! I presume it's a petrol?[/s'OK it's not a landy mode]
