this is stupid

[EwenM]

i got some paint work done on my trusty beast and when i got it back, yep you guessed it one of the windscreen washers wouldn't work, the passengers side thankfully.

so i though i better sort it out, so took off the cowl panel and guess what the bit that the hose fits on had been broken and glued back into place.

so off to the trusty parts manuel and look up a replacement.

a company in the US i have dealt with had them as a Pair for $14.95
which i though was fair
however i thought i,ll check locally and if they are a little bit more expensive then thats ok i wont have to wait,

rang the dealer and was told that the part number i had is no good, and they would need a VIN, which i didn't have with me, and that typically they cost $50 - $60 dollars each WWWWaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttt

forget it i ordered them from the US, be hear in 9 days

gees whats wrong with these people

Hahahaha, welcome to the club

Rear main seal for the diesel: 98€ at the stealer- 15€ at the free market
Rear diff seal: 41€ at the stealer- 2,99$ from the US. Including shipping I can get ten for the price of a single one.

It's ok to spend some money, but I'm not going to finance their next vacation.

Who is a good dealer to purchase the plumbing for the Crank Case Vent Valve assembly for an 96 XJ petrol. Local dealership here is requesting near $100 :( for two gromments and the tubing for the ccv (note does not include the ccv)

I was quoted $300. for a front axil uni. Bought a genuine Dana Spicer 5-760 from the states for $40 including shipping. I bought a few. Seems like they dont really want to be bothered with selling some Parts

[xj jorg]

You can buy repco ones which are hardy spicer for the same money

I have never had a problem when quoting the part number, I usually sell those nozzles for $5/pair....

A bit more specific info on Team Cherokee please???

Also you can get the individual plastic pieces and grommets really cheap from Rockauto.com - but they don't carry the hoses/pipes.

######It's OK, I justed googled Team Cherokee and Team Grand Cherokee.####
