My XJ Cherokee's......

[alexbrown64]

I’ve always said the XJ’s chew rotor buttons, caps and coils.
Best to just do a Rockauto order every few years and get plugs, leads, coil, cap, button, air, oil and fuel filters to do a service and tune.

Good that the button was the answer, and no major problems.

I’ll put that tune up kit in my XJ when I’m home as well. Working away 6 out of the next 8 weeks though....

Cheers,

Well that's good to hear Alex I checked the shaft today and it is tight
I went over the in laws today first drive wow the 96 has never been this Crisp We are going to Barcaldine tomorrow so it should be a nice highway drive .....
I cant see the 99 getting on the road this year Pretty much all that is left to do is the gearbox mount ... I have been putting it off as I don't know if it is bad or not hard to see any visible damage but going by the trashed engine mounts and CarKiller History I think it is a must .. to be sure
Stupid Me I should of got the engine mounts through rockauto Oh Well ................................
Gearbox mount $19.65 AUD ....... $20 something to FedEx
$44. something to my door
Guess what I could not resist buying

Danger! .. Danger! .. Doctor Smith .... I was out in the lounge room watching the news this morning when my mobile went off it only rang twice and I don't walk fast so I missed the call ...... I checked later on and it was a call from America? WTF? .. 101 had a message it was from rockauto WTF! Really it said bla bla the part is out of stock go to the returns page etc etc ... so I went there ?
the part don't fit its broken I changed my mind no option for bummer it is out of stock? so I went with I changed my mind and in the comments box I told my story .... while on the refund / store credit page there is a active tracking number saying my item has shipped?
Normally in my emails I will get a order conformation a paypal recept ... and then a order shipped emails I only have the first two.
??? bit much for me!
So I emailed them to see what's up I don't care about a refund or in store credit I just want a gearbox mount ...
thanks for the heads up Tony ...

I got a email back from rockauto all sorted
"We apologize for the confusion. We were able to find a supplier who had the part in stock after sending that out of stock notification. The part did indeed ship and is on its way. "

Oh shit the 96 is leaking more than normal ... I have been consumed by the 99 of late and I knew there was a sm leak but suddenly it has gone Bad ... It is only the power steering hose from the reservoir to the hard line no big deal it is just time to replace the 24 and a half year old rubber hose .... I think I have enough scrap to do it in the shed ..
so it will cost me nothing
