Drift:
Check the pics above thats part of the cold start I removed.

They sound like a transit van dragging a bag of spanners for the first mile or two in the mornings, just the nature of the beast Im afraid.
Dont over rev the engine when its cold, it wont help it.

hi again  ive just got a w -reg frontera with headgasket gone . its a rs sport 2.2 16v petrol , just got it stripped down , defo head gasket , my question is  should i keep my N-REG 2.8td  lwb , or this rs petrol one ,, i want to do some off roading  green laning this summer . and i got the 2.8 first as it was cheep  . but then got this one cheep too ,, i like the sport one ,,  but like the diesel one ??  wat u recon ?
thanks mark 

Drift:
The 2.2 petrol are renowned for having a weak bottom end, so you could get the top end sorted only to have problems later on.

The 2.8 on the other hand with oil changes every 3K  it will serve you well, just dont let it over heat, they run cool anyway.
Its a solid old basic engine thats as tough as old boots if looked after, I am bias towards the 2.8 though but after 3 years with this all Ive changed is the starter and alternator and thats due to going off road they died.
