You can pick Cherokees up for next to nothing these days, so It could pay you to just relace it and (if you've got the space) keep the bust one for parts.

yes ok see it now (too busy looking for next video to pay attention)
"diesel" could be the camshaft and push rod scenario!! common problem i believe.........would make the right type of sound that has been described.

Take the rocker cover off and see if one of the pushrods has fallen out of a rocker arm. If it has, take the offending rocker assembly off, retrieve and check the pushrod isn't bent, refit it and see if it runs ok.i will have a look at this thanks

Is it right that there are three types of breakdown on a VM, lucky, expensive and bast*rd expensive?

This has just happened to my 1996 2.5td, one of the studs that holds the rocker on had sheared off i extracted the stud and drilled and taped a new stud in. It ran perfect for about 3 miles and then it sheared both of the studs off. I managed to get a second hand cylinder head from edm jeep specialists, Bicester, nr Oxford for £45 plus vat. I had tried vm diesel as i usually get all my parts from them but they messed me about for three days and they wanted approx £85 plus vat, so i saved a few quid there. I am still trying to put it all back together so i hope it works this time, if i can help you further please let me know.
Cheers
Glyn
