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.

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?

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...

Yes... me! Switch, wires... heatshrink... Done! Though this might be the last nail in the coffin for poor old Jolene

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...

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

Oh yeah, it’s a factory alarm alright. I’ve been scouring the workshop manual looking for an answer.

Sorry; it's a 2004 Nope.. it's just a super, super annoying factory alarm To rephrase the question. Standard Alarm - How to permanently and totally disable?

It randomly goes off and I want to kill it... forever!

I’m posing this question in this manner because nefarious individuals could goofle here and use it do do naughty things with our Jeeps... so... There is a flashy beepy feature that flashes and beeps when bad people mess with Jeep. From now we’ll call this feature ignoratron5000, because thats...

Irritatingly it's winter here and I have to take it to my local shop.... don't you just hate that? I'll take it and point at things.

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...

mine was brake pads. I was convinced it was the upper control arms but I had them replaced.

I assume that clicking in 2WD Hi is the prop-shaft?
