Looks like a bit of craic, that! Throw caution to the wind! Risky business though. Amazing that thing kept going for so long. That would be great in a banger race.

I'm surprised as well. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 62k miles on the clock and the diff is knackered and it hasn't done any off road work. I would never buy a Jeep again. They are money pits. You can't get any after market spares either so you payt over the odds for crap parts.

Get this for Jeep to repair the diff I was looking at £1200 if it didn't need shims (read washers) and if it did £1500.

The Jeep also pulls to the left a little but they can't fix it for sure. They have 3 or 4 different offset ball joints that may or may not fix the problem. They are able to choose the correct offset but the ball joint might not fix the problem.

I'd get shot of the thing except I spent £2300 on the LPG conversion a year ago and I'd loose out big time cash wise if I sold it now.

Take the engine out and put it in your van! LPG conversion and all. Yeah Ive heard bad stories about them. Heard of someone having the gearbox empty its contents all over the motorway, taking out all brakes (including handbrake) in the process. Scary!

Thats a lot of money for LPG conversion, no?

Presume that includes a trailer complete with 1000 litre tank!

Oops, sorry, a sore point I detect
