Greenflow Auto Fuel Systems Ltd, Hertfordshire

Advantages: Helps the environment, saves you money, easy to fit
Disadvantages: Can only be purchased from EcoFlow distributors. Will not work on all cars

...HOW MUCH money COULD BE SAVED BY USING A ‘magnet’? ************************************************* In financial terms I cannot answer definitively as much depends on the condition of the engine and the environment it is working under. Although savings of over 20% (20% of £40 =£8) have been claimed, but a common saving on fuel bills of 5% (5% of £40 =£2) would generally provide a relatively short and justifiable payback period. In financial terms savings made by fitting a magnet will increase as fuel costs continue to rise. When I fitted an Ecoflow® magnet to my Vitara JLX my MPG went from 27mpg to 31mpg (14.8% change for the better). (These magnets can only be purchased from an independent distributor of Ecoflow.

Disadvantages: Bad electrics on older models, like trying to berth the Ark Royal parking (LWB)

...Mechanicaly sound cos its Izuzu, but that means turbo air intake failure £165 . Electrics made in Taiwan, no seriously worse than that made by vauxhall. My dad has a S reg LWB2.2 Dti ltd manual I have a S reg LWB 2.2 Dti Ltd auto both diesels have done nearly 100K my dad having his from new (poor bloke) On the farm they are ace of road with the ability to not tilt over like other 4x4s and fall over and i have also never heard of any troubles with them jumping out of 2x drive into 4x drive like other 4x4 on the road (you owners know who you are but havnt got the guts to admit it after reading this). If you buy a second hand one buy private cos the warranties given DONT SEEM TO COVER THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS so pay cheap privatley then expect to pay more to eradicate the electrical problems like seat belt retensioners gas bottle connections...

Advantages: Big, fun, not as bad as everyone says
Disadvantages: Dealers, image, fuel, performance

...I had a Vauxhall Frontera Estate Ltd. 2.2i as a company car for around a year and loved it. There are loads of write-ups on how bad the Frontera is, ... blah, blah, blah. Mine was great. It was a work horse - Even though it was only the 2.2i it could cope with a full load, roof box and 5 people. No, its not the fastest 4x4 by far and does wallow around due to big feet. BUT ITS A 4X4 !! I had a Mazda pick-up run into the side of me and caused major damage to his front end. The Frontera had little damage (a new door skin) for a side impact. I was very surprised and impressed. The switchable 4x4 system works well and the car is more than capable off road. The air-con is not up to much tho. Performance: Not bad for a big car with only a 2.2 engine. Fuel....uses a lot of it. Go for a matalic paint finish as this does not chip... Read review
