dont bother with a frontera more trouble than what there worth, get your self a j plate landrover, the bits are easy to come by and the older diesel engine are pretty easy to work on two.....expect to pay arounf 2k is for a reasonable, and dont wory about the millage just make sure the history is full

Use a Citroen XM V6, hydro-pneumatic suspension is best for towing, and also 190bhp means its fairly quick. Make sure auto box has a cooler on it though, my dad managed to melt his when towing a tin axle through france. up a big hill
