Jazoli Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Ok I've had this coming up 6 months and done 2k miles, its time for a change and I don't really need it any moreI've spent a few quid and fixed the climate control had the tracking done and the wheels balanced, fitted a new thermostat assembly, I've also sorted a few niggles (loose airbag cover and inop rear washer) Everthing works, there are no warning lights or error codes on the ecu, the mileometer is flashing which means the car needs a proxi alignment (basically to reset the canbus as a module has been replaced) but I'm not paying 40 quid for a license key to switch it off, it doesn't affect the car in any way.No service history or evidence of a belt change, although the belt *looks* okBody wise the roof, bonnet, rear hatch, drivers door and offside front wing don't have any significant dents/scratches, the rest of the car does, its not pretty in places, the osr door is mullered, the nsf wing is also mullered, the ns frong and rear doors have a dent where someone has tried to drive it up a high kerb, the tyres are ok (5mm front, 2mm rear) but the wheels need a refurb, inside its mint, no real wear on anything, its just nicely worn.2.0 twin spark petrol flavour, really good spec, 4 x e/w, dual zone climate control, rain sensing wipers etc etc, 145k miles, MOT till Jan 17 and taxed to get you home, it averages 31mpg round the lanes which is pretty good, it does almost 40mpg at 75mph, its pretty nippy for what it is with 150bhp, there's also a parrot hands free kit fitted. It drives well enough, it tramlines a bit on rough surfaces, there's no bangs or crashes, its £400, for a modern car with leather and very cold AC, what more do you want? I may swap for something, try mePics: sporty-shite, SiC, The Old Bloke Next Door and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 They're a lovely steer these are. Mine was only a 1.6 but was still bloody nippy. Shit turning circle is about the only drawback from a driving point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfamale Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I had one of these on an 04 plate with less doors, and fuelled by dinosaur juice but it was a cracking thing. GLWTS Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazoli Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Still no interest on this? I'd consider a swap for something with a lighter clutch pedal or automatic as my last lot of surgery has not worked and my left ankle is even more fucked.

phil_lihp Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ah, mild relief, many, many miles away! Sorry, normally I'd be up for a good long collection trip but not viable at the moment. Good luck though, it looks ace. Jazoli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDorson Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I really fancy one of these so I can see how they stack up against up against the Golf based stuff of the same era. There's something mega appealing about those engines as well... And that interior is gorgeous. Oh for some more fundage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red5 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 What you need is a Fronterror 2.4 lwb with a fresh MOT... oh, wait, what's that I see behind another Frontera I've not just bought...honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something mega appealing about those engines as well... And that interior is gorgeous. Oh for some more fundage. The engine is pretty good, its very 'rorty' and sounds fab, the interior is fantastic, its the best thing about the car, oh and the steering, its just over 2 turns lock to lock, so its very fast and direct, I have nearly crashed the Focus twice into the wall outside the house because I'm that used to the Alfa and have not put enough lock on!
