Noise wise I have only driven about 50 miles so far and apart from a cold start this morning once on open roads the engine settles down to a...- Derek Mc

Finally brought her home
OK so tonight after leaving work a little early I went and collected my new Cherokee version KJ CRD Limited Auto. I picked Bright silver and the dealer has re-trimmed the seats in a superb silver grey Montana (BMW) hide from Bridge of Weir. He even managed to embroider the logo onto the front...- Derek Mc

Liberty Sport Special Edition
We don't get the "Oh *hit" bar in the UK and I was wondering if it could be retrofitted as it looks cool in the American version however as we drive on the other side it probably is both handed and sided too! I suspect that the pic may be a bit misleading if the windows switches have moved too...- Derek Mc

Side markers are included within the main headlamp unit the large amber front facing light units act only as turn signal units the tiny ones right in front of the front wheel to the side as a reflector and are not lit at all. I intend to get the American ones and illuminate them.- Derek Mc

New Liberty / Cherokee nose
Thank goodness for that, I really like the Renegade nose on that model with all the add ons and extras but the "bug eyes" look of the normal model is a cute touch on one of the worlds toughest off roaders that made it so friendly to my wife's eyes. It was just when i saw that as a separate model...- Derek Mc

New Liberty / Cherokee nose

Goodyear Wrangler S4
Our new Kj CRD Ltd has 235/65 x 17 Wrangler S4 all round, anyone had the opportunity to try these in snow / mud or in a little "soft"roading? Long term they will get replaced by much more agressive looking rubber but for now these will have to do.- Derek Mc

CRD geek time
The 3.0 CRD V6 is another refugee Mercedes engine though this time it is a brand new engine launched across the Merc range simoltaneously, it is a muscular lump for sure and sounds very rich and creamy for a diesel, enough to make the V6 CRD as quick to 60 as the 4.7 V8 It is not intended for...- Derek Mc

Let's See Your Revos!
I had the same Bridgestone "Revo's" 235/70 x 16 on my 98 Grand Ltd, once the Goodyear H/P's were done, they were far superior especially in snow. In the UK the CRD Ltd comes with Goodyear but its the new A/T on a 235/65 x 17 size they look reasonably cool but as soon as they are done I will be...- Derek Mc
