Finally i owned myself a Frontera...just took the car yesterday and did a
first long trip journey from KL to Sungai Petani...the car is very
wonderful in every aspects except for the engine sounds roar like a truck.
According to the previous owner, he changed the extractor due to the
original extractor is easily to crack. Is it true ? Is there a way to
reduce the engine noise ? so we have a feeling as if we r driving a car
not a truck . One more thing how much and where can I get front hood
rounded opel emblem? Mine had been torn off by the vandal...
another problem with my frontera is the drivers side door lock. according
to the previous owner, one of the spring lost...so i cannot lock the door
from inside bcoz it will jam up the whole central locking system and the
only way to overcome this is by using wire..and the rest you have to act
as if u gonna steal the car...by putting in the wire in between the window
then find the mechanism and try to push and pull. It took me 1 hour b4 i
managed to open it. It happened to me at 1pm last sunday nearby MPPJ
building after checking around the sunday market...
i have to dealt with the built in alarm system which kept on howling
itself b4 i managed to open it and ignited the car in 30 seconds...holy
*****...I also need to do some paintwork...cause certain parts have been
faded away, but according to the previous owner one layer paint should be
fine....so how much is the cost of one layer paintwork ? Is there a club
for frontera ? I wish to join them..

aikk.....supesta.....sini pun ada.....hahahahhaha

akmal....you must have lots of guts getting a Frontera. Opel is one of the
very few Conti with very minimal support in this country! Europel is not
doing favours to Opel owners here, trust me....they try very hard killing
them..

I don't know much about Frontera though, Vectra boleh la....why don't you
try the other thread (the Vectra thread), there are a few Opel owners
there who might be able to help you.

Buy the motor trader magazine...look out for the potong kereta ads.....if
you lucky enough....you get opel parts dealers. If you want new parts, try
Ampang Auto (I'll post the number later....lupa daaa). Parts are
available, just harder to find.
