andyhubbard:
Can i ask what peoples thoughts are of the 2.0 litre Sport,it's a 96 Nreg and it will have 12 months MOT. The asking price is £695 and it as 113... on the clock. Any help would be appreciated,thank you.
Jim-Willy:
Very thirsty, will do less than 20mpg and not very sprightly. Basically reliable trucks.
Jonathan M:
There is quite a big Frontera club, I'm not sure if none members can access the forum, might be worth a try there?

I have just got a sport 96/N with 76k for £450, bargain. :lol: its my second and is replacing my Disco 300tdi *waits for the gasps to settle* running costs compared with the disco, fuel wise cheaper to run, disco approx 21mpg fronty approx 25mpg with cheaper unleaded, they have all the protection underneath that they need, fuel tank/sump/steering guard etc although it is only tin it protects it well, fronty had 31/10/15's on disco had 235/85's on and i know there is a sizable difference it would leave a disco standing, very comfy if you like raked seats, easy to work on and parts are a plenty, easy to lift by 2" too.
bad points are
bumpy, not as capable as a disco/landrover etc, have a tendancy to blow crankshaft oil seals, coilers are a bit softer and yours is on the changeover so it may have them, parts are not as cheap as LR's, and B&Q snorkles dont look as nice as safari's, inlet for the airbox is behind headlight so dont go in water any higher without one.
All in all they are reliable and fun, bit like a comfy sj or something. :lol: and the price is about average for the one your looking at.

Hi Ady-thanks for that i think you have told me everything i need to know,and your right about your price-that's WOWWWWWW :shock: . I must admit to being very tempted as this is the top of my price range as my normal ride as gone belly up and will be sold as spares. But that's life and at least i'll be back in 4x4 country,regards Andy. :D
