    Name that part!

    No this is an intermittent noise, and loud, I would be worried if it was the fuel pump...have only heard it twice, once on the test drive (car had been stood) and recently. The purge pump sounds the most reasonable answer Thanks Mark

    a/c smell

    hi, I noticed a discussion about a/c smells on JU... discussed a few years ago. My a/c smells a little when I put it into hot on the a/c setting. The car was parked on the dealer forecourt for a while and could have some mould on the a/c coil. Has anyone else here had a smelly a/c...

    Explanation of the Command trac and select trac

    Derek, If the Jeep is fitted with Trac Lock, my experience with our greasy wet roads means putting it into Full Time 4WD at the first signs of rain... ...It is the V6 and power delivery is different, but with the LSD and the smallest amount of throttle on roundabouts sees the thing steps...

    3.7L Decent or not?

    The best thing about the 3.7 are the comedy launch speeds that can be carried out... Up to about 20mph...you would need an Impreza or a bike to keep up!! Also, with TracLok in 2WD, exiting junctions sideways is always fun...as soon as it rains engage 4WD full time!!

    Why Liberty in USA and Cherokee in RSA, Oz, UK., etc?

    THe UK has had the Cherokee names since about 93/94...when we started importing the the square one!! ... I am not sure, at the same time (or not long after) we got the WJ... I can't think of a licensing reason in the UK...DC just must have thought that us brits wouldn't understand a name...

    What did you sell or trade to get your KJ?

    Mini Cooper S... 170bhp on run flats in the snow ....enough reason to justify a 4x4 anyway!! MPG ain't much different The KJ is my 28th car....and the best yet!! Wife still has a Mini Convertible....it fits in the trunk nicely!! Less liable to get SCAMERA attacks!!

    Parking Sensors

    Standard fit in the UK as the nice policemen are so anal about number plate sizes and positions... They have got to make sure the number plate recognition software can get you on the motorway if you dare to do +10% and +2mph over the limit ....I would dream of not having to run a front...
