I had a 2.5 tds lwb and to be fair it went well. It would leave my troll in its dust even with a tin tent behind it but it would only do 25mpg no matter how it was driven. Think i kept it for about 6 weeks lol then swapped it for a 4.2v8 rangie LSE money pit. Anyway i now have a proppa 4x4 my trusty Troll

load a bollox

had my frontera 2.4 petrol for 4 years, had an isuzu engine

racked up nearly 60k on and off road - went every where a disco and a rangie went.

not bad on petrol either. only needed a MAF and a heater matrix in four years

good cheapish family hack - loved it

would have bought another one but the later ones had VX engines and cam belts etc

would recommend an early low miler to any one
