Finally got the other jeep (XJ diesel) ~ #2, to start on a battery. Idles fine. When I rev it, way too much black smoke & its a bit gutless. Will put a boost gauge on it to see if the turbo is ok.
Water pump had a dribble, the more I drove it the less dribble. After about 1/2 hr of running was down to a drop every now & again, (I kept it full).
No bubbles in the top tank so looks like the heads are fine.
Didnt overheat.
Way over full of oil, need to drain some out before running again.
Discovered it has a MAF & not a MAP.
Cruise control works, unusual for an XJ diesel to have one.
Sounds like the ball joints are on their way out. Will fill with grease & see if they shut up.
Air con works well.
All round, with a bit more TLC, it should become a good jeep. It has taken a while to get this far.
Hope to have it as good as possible for when jeep #1 shits its self.
