I`m / Was stressed out my nut with the Jeeps MOT /Retest.
Good news is its passed :D :D- i know no more than this yet as i got my old man to take it for fear of me running the MOT`er over.
Some may rememebr my emmissions and third brake light failure....Solution was to remove the brake and argue the toss whilst a good old oil change, Flush with Fortes and hard and fast run sorted its emmissions :y
Not sure if it was tested on LPG or petrol as yet...
I dont think i have ever been as stressed as i have been today awaiting the MOT verdict. Births. wedding, exam results were all eclipsed by this.
A wee rant now..... Wifes 2004 clit - cost to tax £115.50, 1996 4x4 4 litre Grand Cherokee cost to tax £101.75.
It really makes a mockery of this emmissions nonsense :-X Especially when the clit goes to the £400 bracket next year whilst the Guzzler remains around £100...

Particulalrly when you think the Jeep engine is a design so old it was first seen forming part of an outboard motor on the ark!

PMSL ;D
"High Output" 8-) (185 BHP from 4 Litres, IIRC) Woooo!
Glad to hear it's read legal at last. :y Why is it only £101.75. to tax? 6 months, surely (185 a year)?

This has been one of the most challenging project i have had to date. And its staying. Nothing below looks hard but you try getting a jeep hub off and re-laying all the brake pipes :-/
New Brake unions and brake pipes all round.
New Discs & pads all round.
New Handbrake Cables amd Shoes
Front Caliper rebuild.
New Driveshaft and CV joint ( Boy that was fun)
New Headlight, Air Filter Box
Full Coolant flush and service.
