Frontera July 2005 - March 2006 R.I.P.
Jim-Willy:
Really bad news Matey from someone that understands. My first car was a Proton 1.5mpi. Fastish in a straight line but cornered like barge. You hate it as much as i hated mine i am sure. And theres me thinkin' theres no downward step from a Frontera.
Bulli:
Hard luck, it happens though.
Fitting a replacement engine isnt easy but its not too hard eother. Just make sure you get the right engine. Undo all the harness(take lots of piccies and lable things) Get an engine hoist hired and unblot from its mounts/ gearbox and take it out.
Use the photos to put it all back.
Im sure frontera engines must be 2 a penny nowadays.

Sorry to hear of the sad loss you have just suffered. You have to bear in mind though that every cloud has a silver lining.....

sure that in exchange for beer tokens the guys on here will be able to help you out.. the best lessons are learnt through doing it yourself!
..like PUMP YOUR BRAKES AFTER CHANGING PADS!! - thats one lesson i wont forget in a hurry! :lol: :lol:
all you need is an engine lift, a replacement engine (2.0LET/or V6????!!? :twisted: ) and a long weekend with a couple of mates!
i would say sod it and space dependant (no good doing it on side of main road) go for the 2.8 derv conversion, will be able to pick up a bent 5 door derv for next to nowt i`m sure.
try www.thorntonbreakers.co.uk they seem to collect fronteras at one point! :wink:
dont loose faith :wink:
