Yes you read right I was just given a 99 XJ Sport................
Lets go back to the start around 18 months ago the father in law had the Red 99 XJ Sport I did the suspension Brakes cooling system he did the headliner and Air-Cond it was running beautiful but he decided to sell it as the mother in law couldn't get up into it.......
I told the CARKILLER about it and he bought it for $3800.............
That was 9 months ago.....He has flogged it and near broken it
Luckily it started developing sensor issues and has been off the road for a few weeks here and there waiting on parts...... as a consequence I have been doing all the work on it I got him to change every sensor on it we put new leads and dizzy rotor he put 3 new tyres on it it has had 4 fuel pumps in and out in the last 12 months I don't know what went on there the local mechanics just seemed to stuff up every fuel pump fitted...??? and now he tells me it has developed a rear engine main seal leak and was quoted $2000 and the tranny leak at the tailshaft I wont realy know until I get it in the next few days I will degrease it and look for the leaks and work out what I want to do.
As it is a 99 sport and mine is a 96 limited there are a lot of parts that don't fit if I was to wreck it
So the mechanics tell He Says? $2000 to fix the gearbox comes out I just looked on youtube bleepin jeep the sump comes off to fix and more than that I have all the seals and gaskets I just bought a engine gasket seal kit for the 4 litre as I want to do the head on my 96
So it still has 4 months rego but as a pensioner I cant afford 3 car and a trailer rego I will cancel it not before a few cleaned up test drives Oh and the interior if FILTHY...... lot of cleaning there
So 2 XJs now ........
