i buy a lot of parts off them, and have never had a problem, they are my #1 choice for jeep parts.

I've been trying to source a new A/C compressor for my 03 WJ 4ltr. Can't seem to buy a new one and I'm a little dubious about going down the breakers yard route. I've found one on the Rock Auto site, but I have a question. Their shipping charge seems very reasonable especially as it says 'including import charges'. Has anyone ordered from Rock Auto and not had Fed Ex stiff you for additional fees.

Thanks

i agree, Hargreaves has a guy that comes to his place, so he may also travel to you, give Phill a call. 01274 569262

I believe the tj track bar is shorter than the zj one.

Where are you based?

Anyone got a recommendation for getting the pinion bearing changed out on a WJ (Dana 30?)

Something that’s beyond my skill level after looking at what’s involved.

Cheers Joe

are you sure they are scratches and not cracks, if in doubt, i would exchange that head for another, the "VM specialist " ( 01246 455350) will sell you a exchange overhauled head at a reasonable price, they rebuilt an engine for me for my second 2.5TD XJ at a very reasonable price, i learned that if you have a 2.5TD XJ, and you want to keep it, start by getting the engine overhauled by them, then you will have no further problems for years to come. 

Hi Frosty i cleaned up the cylinder heads and noticed a few scratches on the surface of the head where i think the leak was coming from. i've attached a few pics, could these be big enough to cause the leak?

There's a core plug on the end of that cylinder, close enough to that, is there a way of testing the core plug with the heads out?

it is easier just to remove and replace it, when you get the old one out, you will be able to see if it was leaking, they are a known problem.
