Hi - just chiming in on this one. I fit a new radiator, new top and bottom hoses, new 190 thermostat and new hoses to the heater matrix in an effort to solve the issue of a 'not very hot' heating system. Sorted it all out and took the heating box out from under the dash to retro fit some foam...

Evening Gila, I think there is a 'proper' carb that can be bought but to be honest, I gave the Jeep to a Jeep Guy up country when I was ill in Nov 2024 and he told me the ECU was busted and the EFI was shot as a result of that, so a Carb was the only way to make the Jeep drivable again. So I...

Hi Gila, don't get me started on my d4Mned Carb. It's a cheap weber clone 32/36 I believe. No matter how I tweak it I can never and I repeat NEVER just set it a go for week son end. Good example was yesterday, running fine for 15 miles, arrived in the local town and the revs were dropping to...

OK, an update on the imaginary 'carb affecting the brakes' issue! Here are my findings: Engine warmed. Parked and idling at 1000RPM. Took the hose out of the Booster and taped/blocked up the booster hole. Taped up the end of the hose (it was sucking air like a dyson) Brakes immediately felt...

Ok. that's good to know. Thanks. I'll probably order the driver side cable too just to be safest and it'll probably be the same length as the newer one and even it all out. They're a bit fussy over here on the MOT test and will fail it on only having one e-brake working if I leave it.

Hi all My revs have started to go up when I touch the brake pedal or when I stop with the brake and then pull away. I've read a lot of things but mainly that it's the Brake Booster, probably got an air leak or the diaphragm is busted inside it. If that's so, then i'll buy an new one and fit it...

Hi all My parking brake gave up on me and it was the rear right hand side cable had snapped ( I have a LHD here in the UK so it's the rear passenger side) I fitted the new cable to the drum brake and hooked it up to the chassis per original hook. However, when I came to hooking the cable to...

Hi, I double checked the suspension U-bolts carefully and they appear to be in good condition, if a little grimy / dirty. I'll be getting under it at the weekend and scrubbing them to then paint them with rust protector. The British winter has really brought out some surface rust on the chassis...

Just out of interest, can you tell me where you think the U bolt might be broken on my pics please? Juat in case I'm totally missing something as they are so dirty. Also, do you think the sway bar links are far too close to the metal joint behind them and may hit them when one side or the other...

Hi Diesel, good to talk again. I triple checked the U bolts and they are all intact, probably a crappy photo! I'll check the transmission mounts as well as the skid plate? Someone also mentioned checking the body mount bolts as mine had a lIft fitted many years ago by a PO and I've never checked...

Revisiting this one as I need some more sway bar link advice please? Can anyone tell me if these links are on back to front please? I'm asking as I'm trying to workout where an annoying 'kronk' is coming from each time I drive of my curb on to the road. No noises at all when driving on the road...

OK, made some progress on the cold start issue and constant choke problems. Turns out I've been adjusting the wrong fast idle at the wrong time. Found out I needed to start her cold and adjust a screw under the choke housing so that the runs I'm choke at about 2009rpm for a little bit and then...

I've been told the red one is the fast idle adjuster. It's very sensitive so apply tiny increments to get it running smooth.

Hi, I had my EFI swapped out of my '89 2.5l and had a Weber 32/36 clone put in. Yes, the Jeep drives, which it didn't with the fried ECU/EFI combo BUT.. But.... I have lost track of how many times I've tweaked the darn carb to run right! No matter what I do it seems to need constant tweaking...

Hi all, still trying to figure out how to stop the draft coming through the top front of my half doors. If anyone has a half door/ best top soft roof, could you perhaps post a pic of the same area please to see if I have anything different, or I'm missing something, or need a new black plastic...
