Just a quick thing before the forum goes down..
What are the diesel Cherokee's like? I've heard some folk say walk away but i can't afford to run a V8 so any reveiws on them????
-
They are poor. Heavy on fuel, noisy and pretty slow.
An lpg conversion on a petrol is a better option.
-
the 2.5? Walk away, keep walking, once around the corner, run until your out of breath.
Petrol on LPG, no more expensive to buy, cheaper to run and doesn't do a head gasket every time you turn your back.

THe V6 3.0 Diesels are in a class of their own.
V6 power and the V6 Noise :)
-
2.8 in the KJ or JK OR the newer 3.0l....avoid others
-
the 3.0 V6 have the merc engine, not sure if they use the merc auto box as well ?

I've got a 1997 2.5 diesel XJ, it's now done 98,000 miles, some of which has been greenlaning, averages 26mpg on mud tyres and has never missed a beat. Plus you don't have to worry about the electrics when in deep water...
-
Nope just the turbo intake......
-
The 2.7 diesels are getting a bad reputation for reliability......all related to injectors and fuelling..
-
A M8 of mine has a KJ 2.8 and reckons its a cracking motor ,he,s a J33P man through and though of 20years so does know his J33Ps,
-
Anyone know the origin of the 5cyl 3.1 derv motor? some nice Cherrys about right now and at good prices too.
-
nother dodgy VM derivative...
-
The vm engine is bulletproof as long as you don't abuse it with crap oil and crap coolant. Don't let the coolant get low on them and put the right oil in and they run forever.

I'm with squaddie here, my old 2.5 grand cherokee has just done 200k, needs new axles though :grin:
