Well after being without a Vauxhall for a few months I had the opportunity for another. I miss my old Frontera so I couldn't turn the offer down
I introduce Kaz.
Next to Banshee (bit of a size difference)
Only a couple of issues.
Blown exhaust.
Rear driver door won't open (typically).
Cracked windscreen.
Midway interior light is missing the switch.
Difficult to start when cold (maybe a leak in the fuel line letting air in causing drain back and the glow plug system has been "fiddled" with)
Errm ... that is all that is wrong really.
Bonus points:
Headlamp washers (including the elusive red relay in the engine compartment).
Already sitting on 31x10.5R15 AT's with really good tread all round.
On initial inspection she is very tidy. No rust, dents or scratches that I can see (including outer sills in front of the rear wheels).
Rear tow bar and electrics.
OEM Boot load liner.
No obvious dents or scratches.
Sunroof.
Bullbars with spots.
Clean inside with no rips, tears or wear marks.
Specs:
1993 Vauxhall Frontera 2.3 TD
143589 miles on the clock
Only a month of tax, and MOT due in the next couple of weeks.
Recent work done (in the last year)
Complete brake overhaul (pads, disks, shoes, master cylinder)
New alternator.
Battery.
Takes a few of seconds to start, but she is nice and quiet once running (excusing the exhaust).
I know its only the 2.3 TD, but they are solid engines with buckets of torque, and no cam belt to worry about.
Next stage is to get her fixed and ticketed.
Then slap on the 2" suspension lift that is in the garage, raise/snorkel the air intake, and put on the manual hubs I have sourced.
It is good to be back in the Griffin!
