Not had anything to do with Frontera's, wanted one a long time ago but dont like the look of them these days.
Interesting points, yes I also crave a defender and an old disco even though I know how shocking they are Its just the shape I love.

Yeah try having an argument with a landy finatic, they blab and blap about being the best, it really comes down to driver at the end of the day (and obviously lift, tyres ect for certain terrain)

The terrano pay n play toy that was built on here a while ago was beyond awesome, that thing would p*ss all over the landies

Exclamation I miss the old r3mR Terrano !

Mt Missus likes our Hyundai but preferred the r3mR as it was not common and she had utter confidence in it.

Don't start me off.....had over 13 reliable years out of my SWB 2L petrol. It was 15 y/o when I sold it for the Terrano (needed more luggage space & a auto capable of effortess towing.
Much easier to drive & never got stranded, as opposed to Terrano which has left me at the mercy of Green Flag twice (prievious owner's dodgy maintainance!) & bogged-down in slippy fields twice (I blame the tyres for the latter LOL) inside first 2 years.. Wouldn't swap back though, it's a much more comfortable ride!

PS: seem to remember there's a website that gives present owner details?

Sally was a nice clean rust free motor, again an arse of a previous owner but Solarman sorted it in the end.

As for a web site giving current owners or for that matter even previous owners would be breaking data protection laws.

I was seriously considering a 2.2dti before I got the Maverick. As for cars I regret, I should never have sold my old Scirocco Storm

Thanks for website (it IS the one I was thinking of!).
My old Frontera doesn't appear on it so am assuming the worst LOL.
