    Standard flooded or AGM?

    Yes thay aren't cheap! I doubt you will have any issues with the conventional lead acid, my other two cars have them.

    Yeah a scrapyard one would be a safer option.

    06 CRD vibration when letting off the go pedal

    I'd guess worn bushes letting the axle wobble when it's not pushed against them.

    Front end wheel resistance??

    Possibly, if the boot is damaged then definitely, but don't discount the wheel bearing, the big unitary bearings can feel OK when you spin the wheel but awful under real load, cheap Chinese bearings last around a year so don't be tempted by the price! I'd jack it up and have a feel and listen to...

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    The ECU controls the voltage supplied by the alternator the same way to the Automatic Voltage Regulator on a generator controls the voltage by varying the field strength. It's the same system on the gas and diesels. Why they decided this was necessary instead of a conventional regulated...

    Scrapyard monkeys

    Why?? Just why?? It would have taken longer to cut the injector line and spray metal filings into the injector than to undo the nut!

    Nice but I bought the whole car for a little more than they want for that!

    Front end wheel resistance??

    Any noise? The front propshaft CV joint is worth checking too, the small boot splits and it fills up with mud.

    Front end wheel resistance??

    Do the wheels feel warm after a run? What about the front diff?

    Standard flooded or AGM?

    A Fluke will do nicely, switch it to DC and measure the voltage at the battery terminals. I'd guess you wouldn't see much more than a fluttering 13.5v as the ECU runs as an AVR on our setup. As I said earlier, I've had a redtop on my CRD for years and it's been excellent, the specs for charging...

    Starter Issue, or Not?

    It powers out and spring returns. Probably needs a strip and clean

    TCM codes P0700 & P0605 Help

    I doubt old dirty oil and a dirty filters will be doing it any favours. Try disconnecting the battery overnight, that will reset it.

    2009 KK Jeep scalloped driver front tire

    The springs will be worn out, it looks like its sitting very low at the front, the new bits should sort it out.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    True, it's easy to moan about things that aren't that bad, I wouldn't want to live in a town.

    Rear lights

    Why not buy them on Ebay? Very common in the UK and most sellers will ship to you.

    Quart of oil every 700 miles

    Yes, always worth investigating the cheaper options first, wear depends how the engine has been looked after and how it's been driven. Short journeys wear much more than long ones. A compression test is a good gauge of wear especially if you do it wet and dry. Assuming the compression is good...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    They inject liquid poo into the soil round here, makes summer BBQs a joy when the fields at the back of my house get done.
