Picked up my new Jeep yesterday, had a little look round it before I drove it to the office.
Currently doing 10.6 L/100 km or 26 UK mpg so room for improvement! temperature doesn't go above 1/4 on the gauge. Shifts through the gears smoothly and pulls like a train, I'm surprised how much more powerful than the 2.5 it. Feels, way quicker with the auto box too.
So my to do list is :
Fresh engine oil and a filter
Replace the fuel filter with a Caterpillar canister (allegedly a straight swap)
Replace the coolant
Replace the thermostat with an 88°C one
Clean the MAP sensor
Find out when the cam belt was last done, I have a vague memory of it because I loaned him some tools a few years ago!
Change the gearbox oils and filters.
Swap the worn tyres on the front for some spares I've got in the workshop.
Investigate fitting a proper lift pump, VW do a very similar in tank one to the Ram one and BMW have a nice inline one that feeds the CP3 on a 3ltr diesel.
So drop the kids off and it's engine oil and fuel filter this morning.
