    I don't know if the shocks are uprated for the diesel but the springs certainly are! Ian

    Snorkels

    I read this thread and was bit concerned that JIMMY JEEP has been given half the correct information. Yes snorkels are good for raising the air intake to a less dusty level, but snorkels ARE necessary for deep water crossings. You need to be aware that the limiting factor regarding your...

    (newbie) 2.8 CRD questions

    I drive a 2.5 CRD (in the UK) and haven't had any problems with it. It's pretty much the same as the 2.8 CRD. The stuff about the EGR doesn't apply to the UK vehicle. Ian

    Cherokee renaming

    I read that DC were going to continue to sell the Cherokee along side the Liberty in North America because they were worried about how the Liberty would be accepted. The Cherokee was such a strong seller that they felt the liberty may not do as well. At the last minute they changed their minds...

    Cherokee renaming

    No we don't have many native Americans over here, but we do know what Cherokees are. You seem to forget that other people are just as passionate about their liberty and are patriots to their own countries. Just becuase those two words make you think of the 'Stars and stripes' doesn't mean it...

    2.5 CRD Timing Belt

    I run a 2.5 CRD but I can't help you because my brother did mine (he's a mechanic) but that's way too much money I'm sure. Ask the dealer if the specs for both timing belts for the 2.5 and 2.8 are the same. I'll look for my receipt for the belt and stuff I bought......... Ian

    RUST CHECK

    I thought you guys meant check for rust! I check under my Jeep just before winter. I drive up onto the ramps, put cardboard under jeep and spray old engine one under it. I then coat the metal parts of the brake lines with grease. I do it to stop the salt attack! Ian

    Post Offroad

    If you've been into some serious mud, the front skid plate acts like a scoop and compacts the mud under the engine. Unbolt the skid (take the 2 fronts out and loosen the 2 rear bolts and slide the plate forward) and knock the debris out from under there too. If you don't you could get over...

    Quick question for you guys.

    There are one or two guys who have found 15" wheels that fit over the calipers. You would probably be better off trying to get some 16" instead. Most tyre manufacturers do decent A/T's for 16's. Ian

    Landrover Discovery 3 (LR3)

    Took the new disco out on a 'Landrover experience' on saturday. Landrover have been trying to get me to buy one of their cars ever since I sold my last Defender for the Jeep. So they offered me a day of offroading for free. The model I had was 2.7 diesel HSE (£48,000). But it was mega...

    The real deal and the wannabee

    I've offroaded in Landies (Defenders, discos and a bobtailed range rover) and if you could keep up with a defender in a stock KJ, the Landie driver was useless or wasn't pushing is 4x4. I love my KJ and it is very capable, but it WON'T do what my Defender used to do. But that's ok because the...

    Manual Owners

    When offroad, my 2.5 CRD manual pulls along at 3mph in 1st, 4lo with no throttle. I've never tried to stall it, but it will! You can start up the Jeep in 1st or reverse in 4lo with no clutch and your Jeep will set off quite happily. In 2hi, I use it in 3rd with no throttle over severe speed...

    Very common size for Landies. The defender comes with 235/85 r16s as standard. Not many 4x4's are as capable offroad! Ian
