I have just replaced the radiator in mine and am very surprised that it is only a single core 28mm one. I have had heating problems in the past and now I know why, I had never taken much notice of the radiator before but now I have I am looking around for a multi core one which will keep...

Chrysler-Jeep Australia has sent out a recall notice to some owners, they take their KJ into the workshop and check the distance between the rear of the tank and the front of the towbar. If it is greater than the minimum specified then it is ok, otherwise they apparently change it for one that...

Just an aside from this discussion. The road safety bureau here in Aus. has found that unexplained road fatalities where there was no logical cause, required further investigation and they found in many of the cases there was a high Co2 reading in the blood of victims. In a couple of cases...

I have a really short one, similar looking, that fits my roof rack bars.

There might be someone from the environmental standards board in Melbourne or Sydney but everywhere else they wouldn't know anything about pollution!

My silver/grey KJ has oxidisation on all exterior plastic. I was told that, after cleaning, use a mixture of WD40 and Silicone spray and rub in thoroughly. I did this to the spare wheel carrier and it came up very well but after a week started to tarnish again and look dull. My local...

We have to go way up into the ski fields to see snow, currently about 24C here and almost 40C in Brisbane!

I am soon going to need a new exhaust system and the dealers here in AUS want a fortune for a complete setup. My query is this, an exhaust specialist fabricator here has told me he can do it an given me a price which is almost half of the Jeep dealers, he has also told me I can cut a...

I am just reading this and it seems the same problem my mechanic thought I had with my 2005 model, but it turned out to be a snapped camshaft. He originally told me that when he worked at the dealers they had quite a few with spun bearings ( although many forum "experts" have told me that it is...

My first Jeep was a 1974 CJ5 Renegade 232ci purchased new, it is still getting around Australia, although the new owner has installed disc brakes on the front since he bought it from me. Whilst I owned this basic little 4x4 I only ever had to replace was the rear universal joints and the thrust...

That sorts that one out for me. Thanks. For interest, my 2003 WG Laredo had the 5 cylinder 2.7CRD Mercedes motor and, whilst it was running ok, would pull Christ off the cross it had that much power. I once did a long run with a stock-car trailer with another Jeep on it and it returned 8.8L per...

I always thought that this was the Mercedes insignia.

I'm sorry but I assumed that the 5 point star was the Mercedes insignia as most of our diesels were either Mercedes or later on, Fiat

The one I had to replace had all the Mercedes brands stamped into every component, so I guess we got that version here.

Here in AUS we don't experience freezing temperatures much, more like 80-100F so we do not normally use anything under 15W-30 for normal vehicles. Only high performance cars seem to recommend 5W-30, so my dealer has always used 10W-30 or 15W-30 in my KJ MY2005. I think the oil type is...

My mirror control has stopped working and I was wondering if there was anywhere that I could download the page from the electrical schematic for the mirror control circuit for KJ 2005 Cherokee?
