    Coolant leak, full resevoir gone in 24 hours, should I replace water pump?

    Coolant colour doesn't mean much, different manufacturers use different colours. I'd fix that leak before driving too much, if you run out of coolant you will warp the heads and the repair bill will be eye watering... I'd imagine it is easily DIYable, assuming you have tools, I'm a mechanic with...

    Looking at replacement UCA's I have a second hand one I'm going to stick on to keep me mobile but I will probably need some replacements soon. The supplier has these listed, never seen this type before, anyone used them?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Been spraying some Lanolin based rust prevention on the inner wings, inside and out ready for next winters salt so I've had the battery carrier and air box out, found the knock on my steering, the fine gentleman who fitted the new steering rack before I bought it hadn't fully tightened the UJ...

    Jeep Liberty Brake and Rotor Question

    Replace the stainless bits the pads slide on too if they are worn. As Gyro said tgs hoses are definitely worth looking at after 20 years of service, I've been stripping bits of my parts Jeep, it's been off the road for 2 years now, when I took the caliper off I hooked it up out of the way...

    Rusted rear frame trailing arm lower control arm repair

    Needs a lot of steel welding back in to put the strength back in the shell, I wouldn't fancy riding round in that on or off road, crash it and it will fold up like a tin can, they aren't like the old ladder chassis Jeeps, the whole body is structural, the seat frames and belts need the box...

    The mechanical fan is way more powerful, handy if you are towing or working it hard.

    Rusted rear frame trailing arm lower control arm repair

    Looking at the corrosion around the underside of the Jeep that looks like only one of your problems! The rockers look like they are in need of attention too, they are a major part of the structural strength. I don't think the mounting you need is available anymore, your will probably have to...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mine did that, I stripped the caliper and rebuilt it with a new piston and seals, 10x more work than just buying a new one!

    I jinxed it. More woes. 2nd Tipm maybe?

    I'd guess that your blower resistor has burned out for the fan fault, it's in the ductwork behind the glovebox. The electrical fault is probably a bad earth related to the cooling fan as that starting seems to upset everything.

    Rear Swing Gate

    Sorry I don't know of anything, the latch will twist and release if you open the tailgate but as I said earlier it's not kind to the mechanism so go gently, once it's open you can strip the plastic liner out and see what needs doing.

    how to drain fuel

    That will do it but it's a bit brutal, fixing the Jeep would be another option?

    Rear Swing Gate

    It's operated by a solenoid so it's going to need power. I guess you could modify it but it's probably not an easy job. Don't be tempted to just pop the glass by just opening the gate without releasing the glass, it will pull the latch off the glass.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    All dry, still look rough but with the pitting that's not a surprise, the bores are still slightly greasy so hopefully the overspray will scrape out easily enough.
