Thanks for the suggestions so far. Will keep you posted on the pressure checks.

I have done the check and there definitely seems to be a loss of pressure as it fires up quickly when doing the key thing. I will be borrowing a pressure gauge from a friend this week. What I need to know is how to pinpoint the leak as there seem to be two possible places. One is the pump check...

I have a swing out spare wheel carrier on my 4.0lit XJ. I believe these were a factory option for a short time. Has anybody any documentary evidence that these were original fitments? I am looking for a picture from a manual or brochure that clearly shows this so I can prove that it is original...

Something has changed. I have two 4lit XJs and until recently they both started with the first flick of the key, winter or summer. Now one of them, the 1994 one, needs a lot more cranking than it used to, but it always starts. I have checked the usual things like plugs and distributor cap which...

I have upset something. after fruitless attempts to get the sensor out of the cat I resorted to WD 40 and then my old faithful penetrating oil, diesel, which I have used for years on seized components. Today the engine cut out dead on a roundabout. It restarted OK seconds later. Driving back...

I have not tried this yet as it means removing panels etc. I have the dreaded Test coming up on 21st for re-plating the car from UK plates to Spanish. Everything sees to be working OK at the moment so I'll have a look after the test is done. I will also get an idea of the exhaust pipe emissions...

The pictures that should have appeared above are here.

I have given up trying to find this part despite days of searching so here is what I have done. For Jeep Cherokee XJ fitted with after catalyst Temperature Probe Some European specification RHD Cherokees have been fitted with a temperature probe where an after-cat lambda/oxygen sensor can...

I have been given the following Jeep part number 52079197 which comes up as a temperature sensor for a RHD European spec on a Mopar site but I cannot see any further details. Rear O2 sensors did not appear till later. Comparing the pic above to what I have shows a much fatter item, mine only...

I have been advised that this is not an oxygen sensor but a temperature sensor. The mystery is why it is fitted to my Jeep when after cat oxygen sensors did not come in till 1998. I can find no mention of temp sensors. I don't know its purpose. Is it simply to warn of high exhaust temps or does...

Hello, I will be fitting a new cat shortly and may have to fit a new rear, (after cat) oxygen sensor if the current one gets broken. I have hunted high and low but can find nothing like the one currently fitted so can someone please help. Apart from the baffling number of choices and equivalent...

I have swopped over the RHS tyres and the problem seems to have gone away. I have not done a long run yet, but locally on smooth roads things seem to be quieter. I will jack up the back end and check for runout on the rim and tyre. It is possible that a large local pothole and believe me there...

Can you tell me what a cap seal is and where it lives? I may already know but you have different terminology in the US. Regards Mike

Thanks for the info. I think mine must have the flush seal. I was just surprised that there is no bearing at this point. I am still looking for what is making the noise. I intend to swop some wheels around to see what happens.

I have just changed the front RH hub bearing in my hunt for a noise up front somewhere but it has not cured the problem. It is speed related and in time with the wheel revolving. I began to think it was the bearing the end of the axle tube behind the UJ but having looked at some pictures on the...

I have been back and done some checking. The wiring diagram I have shows four wires connected to the module in he roof. When I took it down there were no less than eleven. The four wires shown were positive and negative feed and one wire out for lock and the other unlock. Simple, I can cope with...

I am in need of some help again please. I have just resurrected a remote fob that has languished in bits in a box for ages. I have reassembled it with new batteries and the light works when I press the buttons. So I thought it was time to try it on the car. We have two XJs and I don't know...

Hi, Everything is working again. Thank you for the wiring diagrams they helped with the power supply and fuses. The actual problem was entirely my fault. I said above that you could not get the six door switches wrong, well you can, there are actually four options. There are six connections on...

Hi, thanks for the reply. The car is a right hand drive model with a RH door problem ie driver's. I have been very careful to ensure that all colours match at each end and have even had friend check it. I have also checked the continuity of every wire, including those that did not need a...

Hello, I have run into the usual problem of broken wires in the door jam/hinge area. I removed the door harness and found no less than seven completely broken wires and three cracked ones all at the same point where binding tape had been wrapped round the harness presumably during manufacture...
