Hi All,
I have just managed to pick up a Vauxhall Frontera 2.2 Turbo Diesel. Its in exceptional condition with full leather interior and all the mod cons. Its a V reg ( October 1999 ). It was £4000 which seams a good price from looking around.
I have one little problem with it ( which I was told about before I bought it ), and a couple of questions that someone may be able to answer.
The problem is that the speedo doesn't work. The needle doesn't move at all. I know that everything today is electronic, does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be.
Also, it has a towbar ( well almost ). I can see a towbar fitted, with single electrics, but there is no towball. Its seems to be removeable as it looks like something should slot into it that sort of bolts on. Does anyone know if this is the case on these and where I can get the part with the towball that fits on from. From looking at it it looks as though it would be a towball on a sort of bar that pushes in the hole and there should be a bolt or something going across. I am not sure if this is a standard fitting but I have seen this on a couple of them where the towball is missing.
Lastly, it is an automatic, but there is a seperate manual type gearstick as well that says high and low on it. I imagine this is for the 4x4. How do you use this gearstick as I couldn't work out how you moved it. I tried pushing and pulling it but it didn't move.
Any advice much appreciated.
