    What did you do to your jeep today?

    It was the pump and fluid. The pump was leaking so I had my garage replace it (working outdoors is impossible here). I can only think that the old one was letting fluid past which created a kind of feedback loop and made driving straight difficult.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I have to say... holy bejesus did the power steering change make a difference to driving the KJ! It’s much more solid feeling and doesn’t wander all over the highway any more. Before replacing it driving took a lot of concentration to stay between the lines. It just shows you what you get used...

    Mine goes on and off like a hazard warning light. Out of interest, how much is an O2 sensor these days?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I went into my local crazy Vietnamese garage today to have the PS pump replaced; they also figured that my Trans. cooler lines were corroded and leaking so they did an amazingly good bodge by chopping them off and replacing them with clamped on hose. They seemed to get bored of my insisting...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Through a multitude of atrophy related problems our KJ Jolene has still never let us down. The rear glass sensor is shot, so the rear wiper has gone on strike and it’s extremely cold here. With all this in mind, we got back in after the weekly shop, parked in a covered car park and I backed...

    Cryptic Question- beepy flashy

    My next trick is to put an inline switch before the horn... Being woken up by the cops and irate neighbours is not fun. Also, here in Montreal it’s illegal to leave your car unlocked

    Clonking noise - Ideas?

    A new noise appears.. hooray! Front Right wheel. At first I thought it was the upper control arm but then it became rhythmic with speed. Sometimes it just goes away. Weird thing is it stops when I brake 100% of the time. Then comes back. Before christmas we took it in and the grease...

    After five pages of answers about hot to solve the symptoms someone comes up with the cure; thanks brettsnowyjeep! Our 04's alarm went off last night at 3AM and because Montreal is pretty densely populated we awoke to the police banging on our door whilst holding back a lynch mob baying for...

    Tailgate/rear window won't open or unlock

    Mild hyjack... Where is the glass sensor? Our KJ keeps ponging the seatblet warning and "glass" appears on the odometer. Yes the glass is actually shut! We also have a corroded tailgate handle switch which means you can only open the rear with the glass remote button first, then the handle...

    I just got a Recall Notice

    Thanks for the info! The recall notice says they will give us $1000 off any new vehicle. Maybe if they added a zero I might be tempted!
