bagzi 0 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 You didn't say what Year?. Anyway I have a 2000 4.0 petrol/ lpg auto and was out a few nights ago with a mate He had a lamp and I had the Rifle through the open window resting on the wing mirror, being auto I can drive one handed in low ratio its as good if not better than My old Land Rover, (will go anywhere.) Parts can be a problem I needed a new steering damper for M.O.T, which Jeep don't make anymore but found someone on the net that could get one ,price not to bad but took a week to get it!.

EskdaleHawks 8 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) I have a 98 Cherokee 2.5 td sport,Manual. Had it 4yrs. stood for the last twelve months, went through the winter, never turned a wheel. Put a new battery on and it fire up first time. Sailed through the M.O.T after a couple of minor repairs ( New wheel bearing, brake caliper, wheel cylinder). No advisories, runs sweet as a nut. Only ever had it in low box once ( to pull another 4x4 out of the sh*t) and I wouldn't swop it for anything else. PS: I get most of my parts from 'reputable' scrap yards.

I wouldn't part with it. Parts are fairly easy to get from scrappers and on the net. Jeep charge a fortune for their parts. Most motor factors will be able to get hold of new parts as well. All you have to do is give them the reg of the vehicle and they will tell you over the phone if they can supply the part you require. PS: Drive it like a 4x4, not a car! If you know what I mean? And they are heavy on fuel! Edited July 18, 2011 by EskdaleHawks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
