1993 Vauxhall Frontera Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Fun off road car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel line leaked due to perished material at 130,000 miles.
Fuel pump packed up at 135,000 miles.
I think the previous owner replaced the gear box shortly before I brought the vehicle from him.
Side steps fell off as they rusted through, increased ground clearance now:)...
Drivers side door fell off, fixing bolts just pulled straight through the pillar due to the weight of the door, or could have sustained damage before I brought it.
General comments?
All in all, very happy with this vehicle, could do with a more powerful engine and stiffer steering and a diff lock, but just have to be careful to drive off road within it's capabilities.
Love taking the rear roof off and all the rear windows out on a hot sunny day. Then playing in the mud.
