Hello people! have to buy a jeep before me, now that I am standing there as a total leie, as far as it goes, I need your help. How is the jeep cherokee? Quality, therefore, are they robust, consumption. I usually travel in the city, at the moment I drive a benz so on a few liters it doesn’t matter. It’s a grand cherokee limited 5.2 L. BJ 96-98 Is the car actually vulnerable or robust? Thank you already in advance !!!

hello to all, just had a motor overhaul, – cylinder head re-planned – all seals new – oil filter new – diesel filter new – a few hoses renewed now it does not start, but only when the engine is warm, (with winter forwarmer, current) and long start try. is a glow candle up ? what do you say ? to the factory town I no longer want, from now on only to nissan. thank you

Two questions: 1. Can someone give me a tip regarding steel rim purchase (used or new, 16 inch / 5-hole, also complete wheels) for a Nissan Patrol W160? I searched ebay and autoscout and various tyre and rim dealers and found nothing. Only 6-hole rims are always offered, but the original wheels have only 5 holes?? 2. Are there soot particle filters for retrofitting the Nissan Patrol?

Hi people, because of a new hobby I have come to the forest often with my ride, of course only on legal roads and paths! Although the roads are not so bad now the ASR/ESP warning light of my rear-driver flashes often hectic! Also the parking in the grass on the roadside makes every now and then for thrills. And the combination dirty shoes and clothes with relatively new car I do not like at all! 😉 That’s why the wish came on me An “real” off-road car would be totally exaggerated! I thought of the models from Subaru, especially the Forester or Outlander. Unfortunately, these models are also in a price frame which is almost too bad for me as a “forest car”. Which models are there still as much as possible of the typical off-roader disadvantages but would be suitable for my purposes? MfG Tobias

moin, I have now finally ́n allrad car, since a vitara but no lock has it can already happen, that you get stuck. now the question: what for a 12v winch to pull out can you take?should not be fixed, but at the front or at the back be used. there are favorable winds in the net for 50, – have the enough power to pull a 1.5t car out of the mess? how is the durability?

Hi, wanted to ask what the quality of the GC is like and whether there are known problems. Since I am interested in the “old” model, I also want to ask when there was a facelift and what has changed. From 2003 there is the 2.7l engine. Is the one with its 163hp enough or should one take a petroler, although the smallest one has already 4l. What does the consumption look like? According to information you can not say anything exactly anyway. If someone from own experience can still say something with it.

Hi all on the one hand! I bought me some time ago 98er grand cherokee 4.0. runs all round, but I have a question about the oil: the chrysler/jeep dealer has put 10W40 motor oil from shell in. I have to take exactly the same from shell when refilling, or can I also take a 10W40 from e.g. ” LIQUI MOLY” (all year light running oil for gasoline and diesel engines, has the name “world champion” ? and to the gear oil (automatic): there I have no idea what is in it, but what I so like I have read, should in any case only ATF +4 in, everything else destroys the gearbox. but I will still ask what the dealer put in there. info: I drove about 1500- 2000 km since the oil change on 15.8.2006. thank you & servus from bayern

Hello! I’ve been driving an L200 for over 3 years, now he already has a lot of KM down and I think I’m going to break away from him with a heavy heart. Now I’m looking for a new off-road vehicle up to about 14 tEuro. Purpose: because horse breeding business requires a lot of trailer operation and mandatory four-wheel drive to get to the farm in winter. I looked at the Terracan and also the Land Rover Freelander. Both tell me, at first glance it seems like you have a lot of equipment etc. for The Pajero or a PickUp is also on the agenda…. Does any of you have any experience with these cars? Which car would you advise me to use? Oh, it should be a diesel. The Freelander is less motorized… HELP!!! Need your advice! Thank you very much!!

Hi, everybody, I would be grateful for a little advice here. Consider the purchase of an off-road vehicle: either an LR Discovery with the TDi engine, or a Jeep Cherokee 2.5D or Grand Cherokee 2.5D, maybe also an MB G-Class Diesel. The LR and the Jeep so from BJ 97, the MB stop from BJ 87. It is the question whether the Benz is really so good that a vehicle that is 10 years older costs the same as the colleagues from abroad. The disco has ABS and airbag. It is important that you get a truck registration, i.e. seats out, disks glued on, separation grids. At least I believe that these are the requirements of Finanazamt. Does anyone know whether this always works safely, or is there any difference from FA to FA? Should the truck approval be a problem? I guess you’d have to get a pick-up, but they’re mostly pretty done, because they’re almost always on the road in the business. So, if someone thinks of something, I’m really grateful! Greetings to Alle Jan

Hello dear offroad friends, I would love to buy a 4 wheeler even if it was only a 4.0 V6 jeep (as an example ), but why are they so expensive in the insurance? Tax doesn’t matter, because there are also some where trucks have a tax (e.g. a nice pickup or so ). But if I have to pay over 1000 € on insurance (just because apparently the big jeeps cause such a big damage in an accident), that can not be me or? I’m driving a n Chevrolet Camaro.. which is piggy cheap in maintenance, the only problem is… I never liked the depths of cars. What do you mean.. there are also cheap 4 whers that are as big as a Jeep Grand Cherokee? So no Suzuki Samurai / Vitara or similar. I missed the four wheel and that you can just drive over the meadow without sitting on the ground. We just live in the wrong time and in the wrong state. In the past that was even better. Thanks to many rTips.. ach nochwas: is the truck tax still in place? Thank you
