Finaly got round to repairing the non working front speakers on my 2000 XJ cherokee, passenger side was just a bad speaker, but the drivers side was a broken speaker wire in rubber flexi boot. fitted a pair of pioneer 17cm duel cone jobbies. job done.
still got a list to get through though, hey ho the joys of jeep ownership.
Gary :lol:

Mite need some advice then if this auction goes to plan  :-\

Took mine for a VIC check after being written off as a CatC. £41 for 10mins, not a bad deal for VOSA. :(

Pressure washed the boot gullys on the Bullet, and reminents from the granding/welding had got in there, stuck, and started to rust :o

Arsed about with the handbrake. Should work - well enough for one go on the MOT rollers, at any rate. :-X

Spotted all of the pipe clips on the LPG line had rotted away to nothing. :o Replaced the critical ones. Mental note to buy more P clips. Plastic ones!

Fixed the number plate light that fails on the way to every MOT, and then again about 2 weeks after. >:(

Oil and filter changed.

Painted some waxoyl onto those LSC springs.

Wiper blades changed.

Rear headlight levelling sensor replaced.

Polished the headlight lenses so you can tell if the headlights work. ;D

Looked at fixing the numberplate hinge/spring. Decided it needed parts, so ignored it !
