    Line pressure booster

    Anyone got any experience of fitting a line booster to a 545? I've just started to feel some slippage in the 3-4 shift, I'm guessing I've got a work valve body so hopefully a booster will sort it for a bit until I can get around to pulling it to bits.

    Clutch :-(

    Just took my wife's Renagade out to fill it up with diesel, 4th gear foot down and the rev counter shoots up but the speed doesn't change, looks like I'll be doing a clutch shortly.

    WJ tank carrier fun

    Rain finally stopped for a day so I took advantage and picked up a sheet of steel & then dropped the tank carrier off, annoyingly it has a towbar that has to come off too. Weird the Italian KJ is all metric and the German WJ is mainly imperial. Didn't look too bad on the car, just a hole...

    Renegade climate control

    Just investigating a fault on the Renegade climate control, seems I'm not the only one. Found this brilliant YouTube video, covers lots of Fiat based cars.

    Battery life

    Just moaning at my Fluke's battery, the cold in my workshop has finished it off, but when I popped the cover it was dated 2010! Oops!!

    Belt pulleys

    Just looking at my noisy auxiliary belt tensioner, a replacement tensioner assembly is £80+ however there is nothing wrong with the body, just the bearings in the pulley, checking against the old idlers I took off its the same unit so a much cheaper just to replace the pulley. I have split them...

    CRD won't start in the cold

    As you may have seen, my Jeep has got less and less willing to start in the cold weather, I've finally got some time to have a look at it. I started with the easy stuff, fuel prime & checked the glow plugs and relay, all OK so next step is loss of rail pressure, normally this is an injector with...

    Why?? Just why?? It would have taken longer to cut the injector line and spray metal filings into the injector than to undo the nut!

    TPMS Bypass

    I have just ordered a TPMS bypass box for my wife's Renegade, not very useful for our old KJ's, however it could be very useful for all our second and third cars! The guy custom builds them so he can cover virtually any car, if he is as good as his word then I'll be very pleased. I'm awaiting...

    WJ CRD fuel cooler

    Useless information for most of you but it puzzled me! The jeep has a fuel cooler, not unusual on diesels.... but it's underneath near the back axle! Why the hell they didn't put it in with the othe heat exchangers is one of life's mysteries.

    New CRD auto

    Picked up my new Jeep yesterday, had a little look round it before I drove it to the office. Currently doing 10.6 L/100 km or 26 UK mpg so room for improvement! temperature doesn't go above 1/4 on the gauge. Shifts through the gears smoothly and pulls like a train, I'm surprised how much more...

    Jeep auto box

    Just been looking changeing the ATF and gearbox filters on my new Jeep, I haven't picked it up yet so I can't check but the parts shop has it listed with 2 filters, a flat intake filter and a metal canister pressure filter, however looking on YouTube there is only one filter, do US Jeeps and...

    Torque converter

    Just out of interest as I now have an auto, anyone know if the later JK 2.8 CRD torque converter fits the old KJ 2.8? Looks like the same gearbox and a development of the same engine.... upgraded torque converters are unavailable here as far as I can see and importing from the US will cost more...

    Timing pins

    Don't suppose anyone has the dimensions for the timing pins for a CRD? Mine is due a belt, I can borrow a universal set but I'd like to check and see what will fit and what I need to make.

    CRD Boost pressure

    Anyone know what the maximum boost pressure on a 2.5 CRD is? When I get home and put mine back together I'd like to see if my turbo waste gate is still set right. I've seen 20 psi quoted for the 2.8.

    KJ rust

    Thought I'd bore you all with the job I was setting up for before my diff decided to play up. I knew the sills were getting bad but I was hoping to leave them till next summer, no such luck. Got a pile of scrap out!
