Title: Posted a question on the Jeep Forum
Post by: Vamps on 27 February 2014, 22:24:44
I posted:-

Are there any recommended parts sellers?

Looking for a New, prop-shaft vibration damper for a 2004 Grand Cherokee 2.7 CRD, would consider good used part.

Any suggestions appreciated......... :y


24 hours later, 25 views, 1 response asking me to clarify what part as he has a spare prop; whilst grateful for the response if I had asked on here about where to get Omega parts from I would have been inundated with replies.......

We really must never underestimate the value of OOF............ :y :y

I'm surprised Rob G hasn't posted a pic and found one in the shed ;D

At least with a pic to link to, you could show your respondent exactly what you're after :y

Tend to think it is more like parts 9 and 10??? Postage would be too low, the actual part is unbelievably heavy, but it's a start....... :y

In all my years I have never come across such a thing, and, having done some research, think it may only be a Mercedes Diesel and not Petrol part, something to do with torque absorption on acceleration.........as I say, not even much info on Jeep forum, what I have read has been on American sites........... :D :D

Never know, you might get lucky :-\

The Jaguar X-Type forum is much the same, Mr Vamps. SFA for 99% of the time. :-\

I suppose it didn't help that I pissed them off by constantly refering to Mrs Opti's 3.0SE auto as a 'Jaguar Mondeo' ..... ;D ;D

Pretty bogo I4 engine in reality, 20V, turbo charger, no other particulalry unusual 'features', even uses standard Bosch Motronic injection setup for most setups (but beware of the variants with Digifart and MM setups!)
