Obviously it's cheaper from independents on fixedpriceservice.com.au but do they use the correct fluids/parts etc. Anyone got any recommendations for i...

Re: Window seals

Re seal at rear of bonnet. suggest you check out Clark Rubber. they carry a variety of profiles some even self adhesive. While profile might not match exactly it will do the job as effectively or perhaps better at a fraction of the cost. There is one I know of, hollow and self adhesive that should b...

Re: Rough Idle After Service

Possible sticky EGR valve. See your answer as being the most plausible, thanks. Change of subject. Ive fitted an RA snorkel to my MY15 ES 2ltr CJ. and run on 98ron full time. Is there any point in putting in one of your ECU tunes if in fact you have a set plug in one for for my car at this point. I...

Re: Rough Idle After Service

Thanks to all above for your help. Air filter replaced correctly, sticky EGR sounds a very valid possibility but if so has only ever happened once. reset ECU was advised nothing other than service items touched, only item reset was date and ks for next service. All has been fine and now seems fine, ...

Re: RA vs NA?

merlin is used by many to tune their cars, that's his game. So I would take what he has said as having been achieved and fact. Not supposition or may be.

Also note the 230kw is at the wheels, raising the bar higher again.

Re: RA vs NA?

Just happened to go through this November thread which brought a question to my mind. How much power and or torque can the CVT transmission in the CJ, early and later models handle safely, long term? Absolutely safe limit on the 2lt should be, 125kw power and 226nm torque as with 2.4ltr engines and ...
