VM ENGINE PROBLEM.... advice needed...?
« on: January 03, 2012, 12:55:53 PM »
Last night i was tootling along in my 97 Diesal Cherokee , when it lost power , made some nasty noises , and would not rev easily over 2,000 revs...

Today i had a quick look under the bonnet and saw that one of the rocker cover bolts was loose , something thats happened before when a pushrod has popped out of place due to a duff hydraulic adjuster....

What i would like advice on is....

Should i give the car a good thrashing with the stout towrope i keep in the car , or would a tree branch be more suitable....?

I also have a selection of yard brooms , metal poles , and large rocks if the experts think thats whats needed....
