There's an old saying about Jeeps and it goes like this....
Jeeps are like herpes, sure it will play up from time to time, but you will never get rid of it.....

Replaced the cups in the rear wheel cylinders & the O rings in the power steering pipe fittings where they fit into the steering box. 7mm ID 2mm Thick O rings.

Except when her indoors keeps saying "when are you going to move that junk??"
All of that is gone now, decided to make a big telescope instead.

just got 412km out of a tank of fuel around town. big improvement on the 330km or so i have been getting lately.
You might not believe it but if the map sensor line is NOT perished to the point it leaks, the engine runs better, makes more power and uses less fuel.

been waiting for an engine stumble/miss to get bad enough to warrant fixing,,,it would stumble on uphill at part throttle nearly all the time...(for a few months)
today, it felt like it was having a total miss at idle every so often, and was stumbling/missing had nearly all the time.
that feels like a big miss I thought !.. lets start with the coil, should b easy
bit tricky to get unbolted, so i just wired in a cracked old spare, and tied it on with wire
runs like a dream, no hint of a miss or stumble, engine has noticeably more power..AND up to correct temp instantly, where as prior, it had been running distinctly cool
cant say 100% for certain yet, but looks promising, old one is still bolted in, will swap them about and test

Got it Bogged .....went down to check out the river after recent rain it didn't look that sloppy and I was in 2wd oops too late stuck for about 20 mins packing anything under the wheels then getting up it in low 4x4 was worth it to see the river flooded as it had been shrinking in the last few months still it was worth it caught another big blue claw
the dogs were covered in mud so was the interior what a clean up
