    Steering Wheel Lock (yes it does)

    Maybe it is so if your Jeep gets stolen, you will catch the thief going round and round in circles which will give you time to get your baseball bat to "show him the error of his ways"? :smokin:

    Just what am I missing?

    Yes, old cars are money pits but worth every penny as it's a labour of love. Hope its a Cooper? Got a chance of getting one myself at the moment. Not seen it yet but apparently it resembles a tea bag - Full of perforations! Hehe. Top of a very slippery slope at the moment. Hmmmmm :shrug: :smokin:

    Suspension (steering issues)

    As a quick and cheap thing to try, you could swap the front and rear wheels side to side as sometimes the edges wear from the camber on the road and swapping from side to side allows them to sit on the other sides of the tyre and is usually enough to make them track better. Not to be done on...

    Just what am I missing?

    Yes that engine has been used in so many cars, its unbelievable! Sometimes transverse, sometimes right way round, Morris 1000 to MG Metro and everything inbetween! Cue wavy picture and dreamy music and rose tinted glasses.............. :happy175: Keep your mini going Ry, they are gems! Shame...

    Just what am I missing?

    Apart from water in the dizzy cap if it rains? :happy175: Quality english workmanship and design on the "A Series" engine! You can just imagine two blokes sat on a pile of tyres with a mug of tea saying "We will stick the distributor at the front pointing towards the grill, that should make it...

    Aerodynamics

    The KJ has the aerodynamic properties of a barn door so whatever you do will make some improvement to it! If you want a quick fix to get 1 or 2 more mpg's I would go for the road based tyres but obviously this will only "save" money in the long run if they are ready for replacing now otherwise...

    Wheel fitment?

    Thanks Tom. Could you do me a favour and have a quick look at the link below and let me know if you think these will fit my 2002 KJ? I have sent a question to the buyer but no reply yet and there is only a short time left and I don't want to miss them if they will fit mine, but obviously don't...

    Wheel fitment?

    Hi All, Just a quick question. Anyone know if the wheels from a Jeep Grand cherokee WG and WJ models will fit the Liberty KJ? I know the KJ wheels are hub centric but not sure if they are the same as the Grand Cherokee ones? Thanks. :smokin:

    Head Scratcher...Advice Needed!

    At least have the decency to trade it in at a garage where they should know what is wrong with most of it. If they miss something, they should know better and it will be up to them to replace it under warranty when the next owner picks up on it rather than sell it to a poor unsuspecting soul who...

    '04 Liberty (Manual Tranny) Hard Shifting

    Yes the manuals are hydraulic and yes they are a "sealed system". Master cylinder, slave cylinder and pipe all filled and bled at the factory so if something is leaking its a full replacement cos there are no bleed nipples on the slave cylinder so you can't bleed the system. Stupid idea in my...

    I keep mine under the passenger mat so it doesn't rattle and doesn't move or roll around anywhere. I hate rattles! :smokin:

    Front disc and pad replacement........

    Just wondered if anyone has fitted these to their Jeep? Brembo have a good reputation over the pond here in the UK and just wondered if anyone has heard reports (good or bad) about these? :smokin:

    Misfire

    X2. If the fault returns to same cyl, you could try moving coil pack and see if the fault moves with that. If the fault then returns to same cyl try moving plug. Its just a case of moving what you can one thing at a time and eliminating what it can be. Just because something is new it doesn't...

    Liberty power down problem please help

    How would a catalytic converter make your steering wheel shake Mr. J. Thompson? Hmmmm. You were quick enough to have a go at me a couple of weeks ago (Where you ended up being wrong) so just returning the compliment. I wonder how you are going to wriggle out of this one? :happy175: My guess...

    '03 2.4 burning oil..

    Yes just check your oil regularly. Only takes a minute and could end up saving you thousands of dollars. We live in a society where the more reliable something is, the less you think about it, so don't ever become complacent. Hehe. And every time I see the word Alabama I think of my favourite...

    Factory Alarm Problem...............

    Yeah they do that over here as well but my Jeep lives under a carport with a security light that wasn't tripped so pretty sure its not that. Hopefully. Baseball bat is ready anyway! :icon_twisted: Thanks for the replies fellas. Done a bit of detective work today and remembered that the interior...

    '03 2.4 burning oil..

    You guessed wrong then. I was a technician for 15 years so yes i have seen inside one or two engines. And if you put thicker oil in you will get even higher pressure. You ever tried blowing a golfball through a hose pipe? Needs loads of pressure but still doesn't get to the other end. And why...

    Factory Alarm Problem...............

    Anyone ever had any problems with their alarm going off for no reason? Mine has gone off for the last 3 nights in the middle of the night and has got so annoying I have started to lock it with the key instead of the fob but obviously it is sitting there without the alarm now. Battery is good...
