B****y Frontera's
« on: August 10, 2009, 21:19:47 »
I have had my frontera now for 3 weeks, firstly it failed it's MOT on a leaking hub seal (now fixed), then had to replace rear axle due to pinion bearing going, d/s/f window broken (now fixed), rear caliper siezed on (replacement fitted), now driving around today, and I was getting a whistle from the engine, grinding of a bearing, no water pressure, and losing water. What should happen? The piggin headgasket has gone. I am now out of action untill the end of the month when I can afford to replace the water pump and top half seals on the head. Whilst it is off, I am going to fit an LPG kit too. Found somewhere that charges £40 to certify a DIY install. What's gonna happen next?

Anyone wanna swap cars?? lol.

Sounds like you've bought a dog which hasn't been serviced in a LONG time.
