Bit of sealant and he'll be fine.
No the amusing part is when he has to check if A he has a sunroof and B if he can fit through it.![]()

Had a slight issue recently with drivetrain vibration, and a really strange tapping noise coming from under the tunnel. Turns out the tapping was some threads coming out of the rubber propshaft coupler and slapping the underneath of the tunnel.
A pattern one for a Frontera would have cost me over £50, which for a poxy bit of rubber I thought was a bit steep. Not wanting to part with a sixth of what I paid for the whole car for a pox-bound bit of a rubber, I did some research and found that the Land Rover one is identical, and goes for £9.
Spot the clifference!!
I also treated it to a new fan belt, and I even washed it!I used a sponge and everything!!
Other than that (touch wood), it seems to be going alright. It doesn't half drink ze petrol though!!
Teeth? LUXURY! When I was a child we ate by putting rocks in our mouth and jumping up and down.

Bit of a result that, not surprised their so cheap, I killed one in a month lol

After I did this little job, I noticed some vibration at slow speeds, and some quite substantial body resonance at high speed.
This was the only thing I changed, so it was obviously a prop-related issue.
After lying underneath it and having a study, I noticed that the centre bearing was pulling the shaft down. When I pulled the bolts out of the bearing, it's natural tendancy was to lift up about 6mm.
I put it back together with some longer bolts and some washers underneath the bearing to lift it up. Hey presto, no more vibration.

I would like to submit my entry to "Most Car for the Money Competition."
I can't believe it's still going, considering it cost me £300. I've even managed to get a two seater sofa in the back! Anyone that slates these cars wants their head looking at.

Thank you sir! It's perfect for throwing a gearbox or whatever in the back.
Sadly my dream car fund is taking a bit longer to acrue than I planned, but I am enjoying just looking after the Frontera. I think I might treat it to a water pump and a PAS pipe that don't leak soon.![]()
