How about simply re-importing a diesel XJ from Europe?

If weather & motivation (love that expression!) were on your side I guess this is too late (put it down to the time difference & having only just got back into work, where I have internet access) but yes, we are talking about the space on the left, as you describe. (I deliberately avoided...

That's $107 per 100 XJ's - & the accountants that designed them would probably tell you that Chrysler only made about $10 per vehicle sold: that's why, in their eyes, it makes perfect sense! What do they care about our problems/expenses, they wouldn't be much interested if it cost the original...

If you're gonna add to the load on the original circuit definitely use a relay BUT the original switch must be good for more than 25w - the original bulbs are 21w x 2! Don't U.S. tow electrics include at least one 12v feed? If they do, as I'd expect, there's a suppply already laid into the...

In my (limited - sorry, no pun intended) experience, once you've moved the lever, what's showing on the dash display has little to do with what's going on in the transfer box.

Seems I've got the opposite problem, 'cos until now i didn't realise the light was swtched by the tailgate! Where's the missing/damaged/defective switch (supposed to be) located -& what does it look like?

Guys, you don'y know how lucky you are: My first set of pads (unknown U.S. brand - but made in China - cost me about $55 & lasted 5,000 miles, just replace them with some totally anonymous ones on which I thought I'd done a deal at, say, $45 when I was quoted £70 (that's $100+) for a pair of...

In my limited (no pun intended) experience, bleeding XJ brakes is well nigh impossible because - like just about everything else - the bleed nipples will be seized solid!

I'm thinking replacement f. wheel bearing will be coming up soon, so if the whole hub has to be replaced, I'm thinking "fit free wheeling hubs". I'm sure they're available for XJ's - anyone out there got any views?

Definitely putting the right fluid in the right place - but the idea raised a smile. I've been checking this on & off over a period of several months but anyway the coolant was added ready mixed. However will take forward you idea of when to check level & make a point of checking it in the...

Ah, so that's where the CD changer's s'posed to go - I'll know where to look next time I see one advertised as having one.

Fog lights with hi-beam doesn't serve any useful purpose - but neither does ot do any harm - but it's illegal in Europe! We have a lot of problems with people driving around on (factory fit) foglights when not appropriate/lawful [in the UK it used to be in fog or falling snow but the pan-EU...

Seems like I hit on a common problem - & the right solution the hard way - but it is a little gratifying. I'm still left with a (a) puzzle: the coolant in the rad looks like clear water, even though the system was filled with a 50-50 mix - & the stuff in the overflow bottle is bright blue...

Well, that's put me off sourcing a sub next time I'm Stateside (I've got enough problems with rattling speakers with the ones in the "soubdbar"!). Of course, on a RHD model this cubby's behind the spare wheel so aesthetics are, perhaps not so inportant (but poor access rules out using for the...

Some interesting differences of experiences/opinion on either side of the "pond". I paid £750 for my 138,000 miles '96 4.0 Ltd in a snow storm in January - when 4x4's were supposed to be at a premium. I can't imagine any standard pre-2000 Cherokee going for much over £1,000 (think that's about...
