I thought I'd share this in case it's of use to someone. My '06 KJ would not start the other day for my wife - turned over and died, as per behaviour when not using a correct Sentry key. The key is correct however, and after a few tries, it would not even turn over. It was totally dead when I...

Sounds like the scan tool should be my next step before speculating on used ECUs. From your comment on the throttle, the donor engine has been put in by my best estimate. There is a throttle cable on the car, but the hole through the bulkhead has been butchered and uncleanly cut through...

I had vibration at the wheel of my '07 when I bought it, coming in around 60mph and notably more violent when braking. I replaced the rotors and pads on the front - the rotors were not visibly worn, but a lot of corrosion evident on the vanes. Problem solved when this was done. I put it down...

Hi All, My '07 Liberty out here in Doha (Qatar, Middle East), build mid 2006, is a bit of a patchwork. It's originally a US market 2x4 Jeep that someone has converted to 4x4 using used parts. It's had some persistent issues I'm working through, and I could use some advice if you guys have a...

It's a real help, I was expecting to have to list all the part numbers from the parts manual and battle it out bit by bit here. There's no dealer knowledge to assist with stuff like this to make sure you get it right.

Thanks for the tip - I've just ordered the front and rears from there. I'll let you know how I get on (looks very simple from the fitting instructions).

Hi Everyone, I picked up an '07 Sport recently, but have realised there are no towing eyes fitted. Seeing them requested frequently in the parts section, I guess these are not standard fit? Seems odd for the type of vehicle - all my non off road cars have had them standard. I do need them...

The door interior release handle (to open), drivers side rear - I see you may sell the doors complete only though, so I understand if it's not available. The rear seatbelt clips (both the single and double clip assembly with mounting bolts) are the main item I'm hurting for. Any chance these...

seatbelt clips, grab handle, - Rear seatbelt buckle clips, 3 clips in total, I think they are a single and one double unit. With the mounting bolts. - 2x mounting bolts for the rear seatbelts (left and right, not centre), at the lap end, that bolt to the floor. - Drivers grab handle...

Did you just splice into the harness from the point it enters the body under the rear seats, or did you remove the seats etc. and go further in? Just getting an idea before I remove lots of stuff perhaps unnecessarily... Cheers, Ian

Thanks for the thoughts - on balance I think this one is a likely purchase, so I'll post the diagnosis up here for others if so. I'm off for a final check tomorrow..... Cheers, Ian

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum, looking for a KJ in Doha (Qatar, Middle East). Vehicle choice here is limited, and condition generally atrocious, so I'm willing to put up with more problems than I would back home in the UK when buying. It is worth accepting some maintenance work - I'm...
