    Camshaft sensor fitting def isn't a '15 minute job'

    Recommend ignoring all those YT vids that claim replacing the CPS on Liberty 2.4 Petrol KJ is a quickie. If it's done properly it ain't. The critical bit many vids miss out is adjusting clearance of the magnetic sensor tip which has to be 003" / 1mm. If you don't get the clearance right you'll...

    Liberty Crd coolant flow ?

    Just a thought which might help - having had similar weird temperature issues (mine was overcooling and repeatedly producing an 'under temperature' fault code) I began replacing stuff: ECT sensor itself, all coolant and the thermostat. No change so I figured it was an electrical management issue...

    Electric Door Mirror

    it's slightly tricky but do-able. 1. Get someone to help you by wedging two screwdrivers so that they force the side clips just clear of their small locking tabs. 2. Lever up firmly from the underside of the triangular mounting with a wide blade screwdriver/paint scraper positioned...

    Electric Door Mirror

    It clips in - one centre boss and 4 mirror moving clip-in rams. Use a rigid triangular paint scraper, max tilt mirror up and lever up smartly & firmly from as far in as scraper will go. To refit line up centre boss and one ram clip then press down above each ram clip. Mirror is mounted on a base...

    Electric Door Mirror

    hard for you guys to understand but remember we're a small country with crowded cities, old narrow streets etc so folding wing mirrors are fitted to nearly all cars. Electric versions just make it nice n easy when navigating into (standard) 8ft wide single garages, parking spaces etc ;-)

    Having just spent several days investigating the inner workings of these poorly made mirrors, I'm posting this info in the hope it helps someone else with cherokee KJ/Liberty jeep power folding mirror problems.
