In my quest to get information about my 1994 XJ 4.0, Jeep themselves have offered the following information. What follows is a cut and paste from their email. 723 Safety Defect/Non Compliance Description and Safety Risk: THE FRAME MAY CRACK AND CAUSE THE STEERING GEAR TO SEPARATE FROM THE...

The time has come again for the annual test on my 1994 XJ. Last year it just squeaked through by 0.1%. This year I feel that it might not make it at all. Can anyone suggest ways that will cut the emissions. I have tried all sorts with little success, so ANY SUGGESTIONS will be welcome. Just...

Recently my Cherokee has been knocking at the back end when cornering or going round roundabouts. It knocks when you go one way and it knocks when you go back. It literally sounds like someone hammering on the chassis, very loud. We have crawled around underneath checking everything. Springs...

I very seldom move the 4WD selector lever. Today I did, because I needed it in neutral whilst working on the rear brakes. It did not move easily but now the light on the dash is lit up and I seem to be stuck in part time 4WD even with the lever back in 2WD. I have never really understood what...

On my 1994 XJ RHD my speedo has sometimes started jumping up to 80kmh irrespective of what speed I am doing. (It came with KM/H rather than MPH). Sometimes it is fine. If I continue to drive with it stuck at 80 it may suddenly start to give the right reading. The needle is steady and does not...

Sooner or later due the lousy Spanish roads round here I am going to have to replace the ball joints on the steering knuckle. Getting the parts and fitting them does not seem too bad a job, but I have a question about lubrication. The top joint has a grease nipple which is easy to get at, but...

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...

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 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 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...

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...

Once again my Cherokee XJ (non ABS) has thrown up an odd problem. Yesterday when I got home the front LH brake was very hot and almost burning. The RH one was fine. Today I jacked it up to check it out and there was no sign of any binding. My first thought was the master cylinder not letting...

Hi, I have a 1994 Cherokee XJ 4lit RHD and I would like some help in finding what the fuses in the internal fuse panel do. I have searched far and wide to identify the panel as it seems different to all the pictures I can find. I have attached a pic below. There seem to be a lot of empty slots...

Hello, I hope someone can resolve a problem I have been living with for a long time. I have two Cherokee XJs both of which have Tatarini Tec 97 LPG (propane/autogas) conversions, one is 1994 and the other 1996, both have the same problem. With these conversions the engine always starts on petrol...
