Sounder on alarm at 40,000 miles
Radio aerial base at 35,000 miles.
The car is one of the more comfortable I have had. It is a good balance between off road and on road.
Performance is adequate with good mid range acceleration, economy is excellent averaging 36m.p.g.
It has been totally reliable.
The sounder (behind the LHS wheel arch) can be removed without any major detriment to function of the alarm.
Watch out for the Mass Airflow Meter malfunction, usually at around 40,000 miles. When put under reasonable load, the engine management light comes on and you lose power, (the turbo is disabled) £150 + to replace.
We found exactly the same two faults on our Frontera, ours happened at around 37,000,Mass Meter, was OK, until we hitched the Caravan on the Back, then the warning light came on as you described, after replacing, everything fine. this is our 3rd Fronty, I love it to bits. this one is a 2000 model. still only done 39,000 miles.
I also had the same problem with the management light, but since that was fixed the beast has been very reliable, only problem that I have notice is the noise from the wind coming through the doors, is this a common fault? o do the seals need replacing?
