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...

Hi again. I've got an odd and annoying 'kronking' sound when I pull off my slightly sloped drive. It has a very low kerb on the end of bit, perhaps an inch high to the pavement, and when I inch forward off the kerb (just rolling, no power) there is 'kronk' for each wheel that drops. It's not a...

It would be the right solution but I have a Jurassic Park build so it's half door to match the movie version. Guess I'll have to compromise and accept the cold drafts in this colder weather. I might see if there is a way to thicken the material that folds under the roof bars and velcros to the...

Nuclear? Haha. I wish. Nah. Mine is warm but not super hot. I did do a decent flush when I reconditioned the housing and put a new core in. Totally flushed the system every which way and a crap load of sludge and pink chalky stuff came out. Maybe something got left behind and is now blocking the...

I'll redo the temps in daylight today and try to get better solid readings. I'll do the lower pipe too. The pump was replaced in early 2022 by the PO and was definitely the right one as the paperwork shows it as a replacement for a wrong one fitted a week before. I don't know what stat was put...

Hi, got the thermogun and fired away... 10 mile spirited drive in 4th to get it fully warmed up: Engine running gives; Block reads 195 Airvent in cab reads 30 Top hose at rad end reads 120 Top hose at stat end reads 105 Inlets read 170 Rad cap 102 Temp gauge reads below 210 Exhaust at block...

no worries sir, I just ordered one from amazon...I'll take measurements and report back when it arrives.

Hi Earl, thanks, the housing is now spotless inside and out. it was disgraceful! No not tried that. I will see if i can borrow a temp gun and give it a go. Should i be looking for something obvious and specific? Thanks.

Hi All I'm looking at ways to make my Bestop less draughty, especially where the top of the door frame meets the roof line? There is a wrap around section on the roof bit that curls under the two metal rods and secure onto a strip of velcro. When I get up to speed or it's windy, the top of the...

Recurring theme from me so please forgive the repeat question..... Now we are getting colder here in the UK, the heating never seems to get seriously hot in the cab. I installed a new core exchange in the heating box and totally cleaned up the whole box and reinstalled it. It does blow 'warm'...

Yep, sounds like coil or the module it sits in . You can buy a cheap tool that plugs into the end of the coil cables and lights up when voltage passes through it. Saved my life after I had the same issue. Turned out the module that the coil sits in was not getting the voltage it needed to...

I have the same engine here in the UK. Have you checked to see if there is a spark from the coil to the dizzy cap and then from each of the four leads to the four plugs? Is the battery fully charged to 13 volts? Got gas? Is there gas entering the injector? Have you checked every fuse and...

Hey Gila. Yup. It appears to have been a block after all So I investigated and found lots of air blocked in the hoses! I spent a good hour finessing it out of the rad cap and behold.i now have properly hot air flowing out the heater. FINALLY! Also seems to have made the Jeep run a bit better...

Haha, yes we do! Some truly awful diesels over here!
