take it to a steelership and pay through the nose for the diognostics will be your only option if you just want to plug it in and find out whats happenin. still dont think you will get more mpg.

Rally Man

Where are you in the UK? What sort of journeys do you do as part of your daily driving? With the greatest respect you don't try and drive it like a WRX do you?

Jeeps, like all 4x4's drink fuel (that includes Scoobys

) I owned a TD Cherry for 2 years and got @25-26 to the gallon , less off road - much less

Jest not RM the school run stop start kills fuel consumption on any big engined vehicle - give it some more welly out and about and have a recheck on your figures

MK1 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 18, 2006, 10:02:10 PM »

Joking apart now....

Based on your figure of 115 miles to 23 ltrs thats 23 mpg. If Mr Average says 25-30 then you aint doing bad.

The upper figure would be at a constant and steady speed, the lower combined.

I have often found that most people stretch their MPG to prove what a good and safe driver they are.

Your slightly lower figure could be down to filters, injectors, valve or injector timing or general wear.

It is even possible to have identical new vehicles give different figures.

will give it a go only had it 2/3 weeks so not had much chance to mess with it

There's your answer for now....get used to real world driving for you and used to driving yer Jeep then check fuel consumption

chrisjones · « **Reply #37 on:** April 18, 2006, 10:39:40 PM »

As in U52 etc.

Stew thought his truck was a submarine! :lol:

Really. TD XJ's are THIRSTY! I doubt very much if anyone has ever got 30mpg out of one in real world driving. I'd expect 20-22 mpg on short trips to be much closer to the truth.

I'd love to get that kind of mpg out of my 4L. :wink:

rally_man · « **Reply #38 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:01:21 PM »

Ok two new tests .do they have hydraulic clutch operation as when sitting a stop line feels like fluid bypassing are they bitch to do and where do I get the bits.
Also offside wheel bearing noise can you change bearing or hole unit and where do I get the bits.

chrisjones · « **Reply #39 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:06:33 PM »

OK.

I'll pass on the clutch question, hving an auto, I haven't got a clue.

The front hubs are sealed units with non-replacable bearings.

Try Lighthouse, or one of the US. suppliers (4WD or Quadratec) in the suppliers section.

OR...............Shout VERY loudly in Kitchen Devils direction. He may have a few good ones knocking around. :wink:

you dont gotta shout, i dont miss much!!! :lol:

Speak of the Devil and he doth appear. :lol:

Manda · « **Reply #42 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:15:46 PM »

As far as I know Hydraulic clutch - yes.

Lighthouse do a master cylinder for '93 YJ's for £86 all in, I can't see it being much different for your XJ, if you have time to wait I'd use the yank suppliers. (like Chris said)

Where the hubs are concerned go with the more expensive ones, cheap is no bargain.

rally_man · « **Reply #43 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:16:45 PM »

so k.d front hub/clutch what do u know

front hub, yes, i have a cherry sitting in my yard donating parts on a daily basis........a new jeep part will set you back about 100 notes or so, i can do you a 2nd hand one for about 30??which side is giving you grief??

as for the clutch, i THINK they are hydraulic & lighthouse will do all the bits you need with next day delivery...

rally_man · « **Reply #47 on:** April 18, 2006, 11:42:17 PM »

Mike Pavelin · « **Reply #48 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:11:49 AM »

The clutch is hydraulic.. The OEM replacement comes as a complete slave/master assembly with the hose already assembled with fluid, bled and everything.

ivanidea · « **Reply #49 on:** April 19, 2006, 09:00:29 AM »

I used to get 28 to 32mpg on my 2.5 TD (as indicated on the trip computer).

Measuring between filling, I averaged 30mpg (non motorway driving & rural location).

Around town it was approx 28, and on the motorway, at a steady 60mph, I achived 32.
