Phone EDM in Bicester... they are independant Jeep specialists and pretty local to you well recommended on Jeep Club as well Its got to be worth a call


Right Stew called them! Have to take it over there Monday Morning, hopefully they will tell me what the prob is!

With going to EDM on Monday, and then Cowleys on Tuesday I may have a diagnosis on Wednesday and go from there fingers crossed! :shock:  This lunchtime I had to take ZJ to work as Em needed her car,  the front diff started making that grindy coggy sound when turning and drive was slightly intermitant! :shock:  Could this be the begining of the worst case scenario?

Bugger... Just cleaned out the rear brakes on the TJ and there is a stain on the bottom of the rear diff :( looks like the propshaft leaking a tiny but... not dripping yet. Well, when I say it's not dripping, I just pulled half a ton of mud off the bottom of it so I don't THINK it's dripping....

Do I get it sorted (Is it easy) or do I just keep an eye on the level and top it up as needed ???

Apart from that, looks okay... the tranny guard has a few more scrapes, the rear diff has a few more along with the tank guard....

Next time I play I think I'm gonner need new rear shoes though as it's taking longer and longer to adjust them up...

Had to use my little pump washer to clean them as well :( 'kin hosepipe ban is here till Feb at least  :twisted:

Just off out to buy some "Kate Moss is incandesant" t-shirts... Or was it innocent... :)

Is there a hosepipe ban?

I'm lucky enough to live in quite a remote area so I get my water pumped straight from the spring to the tap!!! No water rates for me!

Calm down mate, your getting all mixed up :lol: !

Sit down and breath.......then get on the phone to mountain jacks before the damn auction finishes!!!!!

The explorer will have drums on the rear axel from that year, but that should'nt be a problem.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :smt022

3 mins till end of auction, had talked to Gwyn at Mountain Jacks to
confirm the diff would fit, jobs a good one, ready to put my bid in thinking about that bomb proof diff on going on my ZJ, just about to make my move, and in walks my German Boss, for one of his unanounced poke around my office and warehouse visits!
What could I do! I couldnt carry on as my PC as its in plain view, so I minimised the window preying that he would go for a leak or somthing, maybe get himself a coffe, or maybe have an embolism, anything just LEAVE ME ALONE FOR THE NEXT 3 MINS ADOLF!
He asked to my spread sheets for the good in forcasts! At that point I knew it was over, and I wouldnt get back to it in time! Oh the horror!
Although my plan was foiled by the Germans, cheers Gwyn for your on the spot advice, I realy appreciated it mate.

£370 for an explorer, and all I wanted was the diff :smt022

Looking at the winning bidder, he seems to buy bits and scrappers. Might it be worth contacting him?

Already on it Manda, but thanks hun!
Have got to thinking about the explorer axle, would it be worth trying to find one of those in the UK instead of the ZJ one?
Would it mater from what model of explorer it came from? Auto, manuel, diesel, petrol?
Do i need the diff and axle assembly or just the diff?
How much rework would it need?

They only did 4litre petrol

Maybe try GT4x4, Equicar, Charlton or some of the others that advertise in 4x4 magazine
